Charm It Crazy

Heard Sam Hunt on the radio this morning. He's a New Zealand powet, for those of you who don't Knowet.

Very clever dude, laid back poetry, and one very cool story he told this morning: When he used to lecture at high schools, kids asked him for advice for exams. He told them that if the first question is "Here's a poem. Write what the poet is saying..." then they should write "The poet is saying..." and then copy the poem word for word, because nobody can paraphrase what exactly the poet is saying!

Sage advice, pity it will get you an F!

The whole "Charm it crazy" thang is quite a cool motto, though...it's not just what poets do: Salesmen and leaders do it too. Make the idea hip and hook people in. hence the "Doughnut model" in an earlier post. Sort of "The truth, the whole truth, and the best adjectives to go with the truth"

Just saying Sam is a really cunning linguist. Just saying, man.
