This sounds fun.

Here's mine.

Really enjoyed hearing those. Thank you for playing!

I love Aerophobia.

TexasPoet and ableseaman have added theirs in a similar thread in the poetry crit forum. You should check those out, too.

I was actually thinking of making a podcast about not as well know poets, and I would love to have this community involved, I know it's been awhile but I love the great poets in this community. If interested PM me

My new years resolution is to rebuild one of my broken laptops...when I get the time...mobile phones are (to coin a phrase) 'just too much self flagelation'...lol

Happy New Year everyone.

Here's 'Ghosts of the Ancient Zealots' for you.

Something a bit bold of me here, considered I haven't posted a recording (but I will do soon), but I was wondering if anyone would please read this poem and record it for me?

That would be really great, if Stew or anyone could read even part of this, like the first four stanzas or so, I would like to hear what it sounds like! I promise I'll post my own soon haha

No takers? What if I say please

Hope you enjoy...

Billy, they are wonderful!!! Thank you so much. Was a real pleasure to hear yoj read those.

Cheers Trish,
it was fun to do when I figured it out.
As you said, a Soundcloud recording is quite simple and may add another facet to our diamonds (no matter how rough cut.)
I'd like to hear more AWers read their work, even if hearing your own voice sounds strange. (bordering on awful even.)

So c'mon guys...lets be having you.

Unless there's an issue re. publishing rights perhaps?

I've added a couple of recordings to the two I linked above, if anyone cares.

Unfelled

Ode to an Illusory Masseur

In the Dark I Turn to You

I hope more poets will post recordings. It's quite easy to do on Soundcloud.

A retake on Interview with a Dead Poet...

Interview with a Dead Poet: A Testament for an Atheist Messiah

And an old one:

Minefield

I am struck by the similarity in smugness. I guess I'm still an ass.

for as much trouble as I had getting a satisfactory recording on the Dead Poet one, that smart ass Minefield one was no problem and I pretty much got it in one take.

Has anyone recorded this for you? I've read it a couple of times and I think I could do it.

ETA: I'm from USA - the reason I said "think I could do it" is because I may get some of the pronunciations wrong.

Meh - sorry. I have to withdraw my offer. I've read it a few more times and I don't think I could do it justice.

I hadn't realized we had two of the same thread (well very close to the same thread and they seemed like good candidates to merge) until I happened to scroll back and find that William had started one much earlier than I did. So now they are one.

And while I'm at it, here's my latest recording. It's only 36 seconds long, so, quick.
