I wrote the following poem yesterday. To make it interesting, and because I think people would love to know how (some) poetry is read, here is an audio recording of it.
On the days that dusk met dawn.
When you squeezed my hand.
So much more than just the best.
Not before you said you adored me and that we could watch the stars.
but you didn't let go.
I recall times you never let go.
And I know there were times I never wanted to leave.
I felt more than you had made me.
I sang to you and there was haunting to the soul in flowerbeds.
I felt you behind me.
Wow I'm impressed! You should read poetry more often. The way you sound had me mesmerized, and couldn't wait till you had ended to see if you added something else. But you did an awesome job. I think you should start reading out your poetry from now on, as you are a creative soul.
I wrote another poem yesterday. My boyfriend Tristan and I some what collaborated on it. Some lines he did help me with as I had gotten stuck. It is up on my journal right now. My poem is fairly different than that of what I've been writing. I used some lyrics from "Not a dry eye in the house" by Meat Loaf to help me with the poem. I had used one verse, but worded it to my liking. I was told that was okay. But I'm wanting to write out stories now! Isn't that something?
Well – I'm sorry for all the MIA's! Been thinking about doing a collective featuring nothing but my art. No anime collectives like half of the internet has. But only of my art. And I did it! My photo-blog remains up at http://awkwerdly.me, and my blog now located at blog.collided-hour.net which I'm happy with. I never thought I'd try it again, but I am very happy with it.
Your voice reminds me of Tara from the Australian drama Dance Academy. It's almost like hers, only hers is thicker. It made slightly sad considering the show's last episode ever aired earlier this week.
That was so beautiful! I think hearing you read it specifically made it even more powerful. More people should post readings of their poems online!
I once had an English teacher who said that poetry is meant to be read out loud, and I have always found that even Shakespeare makes sense when read out loud. The same goes for your poem, and I was completely mesmerized and focused while listening to your recording. I hope that we'll get to see more of this from you sometime!
It's always weird when I hear someone's voice for the first time, someone whom I've only known from online. Because you have all these preconceived notions of what that person sounds like. And you definitely sounded completely different from what I expected (I can't really describe to you what I DID expect?! haha… Perhaps a higher-pitched, sweeter voice, on account of your pintsizeness ;)). You have a really nice voice, very easy to listen to. I could probably listen to you read an entire book. Lots of emotion at the right moments. A good voice for radio for sure! Definitely a Sydneysider accent… hehe. I can also tell when somebody is from Melbourne, they can be quite nasal. South Aussie accents (my own) are more 'refined' and they say South Aussies sound a bit 'English'. Accents are cool!
Haha aw, thank you Jess! I have been told I have a slightly English accent at times, it's pretty random. Someone at my workplace recently moved to Sydney from Adelaide, I must say he does have an interesting accent.
I have a pretty low-pitched talking voice for a girl, but my singing voice is definitely "sweeter". Also, I realise I posted this a while ago but recently, at work, I had to do a voiceover for a video (I was reluctant to do so), and a lot of people said I had a very good voice for that!
