New Rule: AV Poetry

[CoffeeDrinker]

Ok, let's see how this flies. Every time someone posts a poem they write, they have to attach a soundclip of it being read or chanted or sung or however you want to perform it, or an accompanying video perhaps.

I think its going to be impossible to enforce and seeing as how I just pulled this out of my ass I guess we should just try it in this thread first.
You will receive more attention in this thread from everyone than just posting a new thread, and who knows it might improve your public speaking skills. So have at it people. I'm going to participate shortly.

I love this idea. I'm currently in the process of writing some new material, but when I'm done I'll definitely give it a go =)

 

[(Wordy)]

Call! Two thumbs up for this proposal, CoffeeDrinker. %)

 

[herbavore]

awww, then everyone will know I sound like a twelve year-old with a bad cold!

Actualy, I think it is a great idea! Panic has an audio reading on here somewhere. I remember him telling me how to do it but I forgot LOL! (I only sound like a twelve year-old but my technological skills belie my real age: ancient!) So, maybe you could post some ways to record and post audio for those of us that don't know?

 

[CoffeeDrinker]

Laptop mic w/ decent free program like audacity, then soundcloud offers free hosting of mp3 or wav files online, and many more places do as well, but that site is really really easy to use.

Ok, here's one I prepared earlier, which was recorded in a mate's home studio. http://soundcloud.com/wordy/power-ballad

I posted the poem in Words yesterday: http://www.bluelight.ru/vb/threads/605631-power-ballad

 

[herbavore]

I have to say that there is nothing like hearing a poet read his/her own work and this is no exception.
I loved reading it yesterday, Wordy but your voice, yum.

Coffeedrinker, read something!

^PiP, I listened to that 3 times, cried on the 2nd and smiled on the 3rd. You are beauty.

and......



I am not chicken (well, not about this anyway); I am just old and inept! It's coming, I promise. Remember that thing we did? I think I will read the last thing on there for my debut--TOMORROW. There, I have made a commitment. I always keep my commitments!

 

[herbavore]

Wait, I think I did it!

herbavore, i have a really bad habit of deflecting and being blind to compliments...im sorry.

you help to extract that "beauty" from me

because the beauty you exhibit,
is the same as what i recognize in myself.


"... how could i ever forget that, how did we even do that??"

that is how its done.

from the Sophia of Jesus the Christ ~ with
the realization of the healing way of repented transgressions
seen for what they are,
with in each
which are always amongst everyone ...

"Before anything is visible among those that are visible
the majesty and authorities that are in Him
He embraces the totalities of the totalities
and nothing embraces Him
for He is all mind
thought and reflecting
considering rationality and power
They are all equal powers
They are the sources of the totalities
and their whole race, from first to last
is in the foreknowledge of the unbegotten
is blessed while He is not known
He ever knows Himself
He is immeasurable
He is untraceable
He is perfect having no defect
He is imperishably blessed
He is called 'Father of the Universe' ''

I always liked the idea of this thread. I hope other people that post in Words will consider reading their work.

You beat me to it!

I was just going to make a thread but it would just be for aspiring voice actors reading whatever works they liked.

IE: Me reading Poe's "Masque of the Red Death"
