Something a bit different to celebrate my excellent pedicure this afternoon 😁
A spoken word poem shot on location at my front gate
Not a big budget but sure to rake in plenty at the box office 😂
– I always feel a bit naff doing spoken word videos however I love watching others so I’m hoping my self consciousness is just because I’m hearing myself on video.
Regardless – I’m going to do more so, every now and then they will pop up – particularly in my insta stories.
Ahhh loving your word smithy nature and the symbolism of got and the sun(s)
Hey thanks – I haven’t done much voetry – a bit of slam poetry – I really like it but feel a little odd – will get used to it the more I do I guess – do you do any?
Mmmmm in the sense of? Like more something matched with a moment in time?
Yeah I guess depends if you’re a writer/poet/songwriter I guess
I definitely agree I think the more different you are from the thing your doing allows for some really interesting results
It’s fun to be creative and words are endlessly fun to play with
Words and video art, plus the captured sound art of the breeze as a laid back backing track. That works for me ~ George
Ahh well if you like it George then I will persist over the feelings of naffness and continue – thought it might be good for Instagram stories – little sound bites sort of thing – words can be used in so many different ways – wonderful little beasts they are 😊
I struggled with Instagram and gave up in the end a few months ago, but yours is a great idea. The understated captured sounds makes the whole piece real; go with your voice – whether you meant it to be there or not. Result. I wish I had more time for sound art ~ George
I could play with words all day – the many ways that you can use them to capture attention – endless – I know the more time thing I go to bed late and get up early and still don’t have enough time to do everything I want to aaaaasnd get my paid work done
Sometimes time and money kill creativity. Like you, I hate it so much ~ George
Yay for fancy toes! Keep doing what you’re doing, you were made for this!
Oh Thankyou! I’m not sure if my body is –
I’m wide awake in the middle of the night writing poetry but I have had 4 hours sleep and will be able to go back to bed once I get this poem out of my head – I’m going to persist with the voetry –
As usual it will be a long march over the mountain of my own self consciousness to get there 😂
If only we could see ourselves the way others see us. You have nothing to be self conscious of. You’ve got a voice for an audiobook. I’m picky about audiobooks!
I agree – I see so many people that struggle that really shouldn’t if they could see how great they are. The mind isn’t very kind when it thinks about itself sometimes which makes you then think – you’re a voice in my head judging a voice in my head ? Really how seriously Can I take this 😂😂😂crazy 😜 thanks for your support I appreciate it so much.
Love it! You have the prettiest voice, and this is such a beautiful poem. And combined with the outdoors and the sunset made it the perfect combination of everything.
Oh great! Love that it seems to be well received – because it’s something a bit different and fun
A breathtaking sunset to inspire a poet!
The dust filters the sun in odd ways – it can be pretty
Yes I very much enjoyed this piece. Thank you for doing a spoken rendition of it.
They’re fun to do
Omg love your blog beautiful post
Thankyou!! Love yours too – Freddie Mercury at the beginning of the morning is the best way to start
Thank you for introducing me to voetry. I have never heard that word before. Sure works for me though.
Hi Len, I saw Atticus – a famous poet do a few of his poems this way – mind you they were massive budgets and looked stunning but..I take my Inspro where I can find it 😊
