Totally Optional Prompts is looking for Sound this week.
For several years, I read at local venues and created audio CD's to accompany each of my poetry chapbooks. After a lengthy bout with a respirator for pneumonia, I'm sure I sound too scratchy to read in public.
I found Wendy Videlock on the Poetry Foundation website and listened to North of Mist several times before I Googled and read any number of her poems. This one remains my favorite. Ms. Videlock is a Colorado poet and has received numerous awards and accolades.

This image is a digital watercolor created in Adobe Elements 5 and with Bamboo Fun.

Yeah, I enjoyed listening to this.
Sorry, I was unable to access the sound track, but didn't want to leave without acknowledging my visit.

Me just dumb basic blogger and don't even have speakers, but like Stan, I couldn't call without saying hello.
As one who has tried his hand at digital prints, I find these images simple and compelling.
Dear Sue,
The audio was unavailable for me.
I will see about getting some of her work. Thank you for introducing me to a new to me poet.
I am so very grateful the ventilator kept you going until you were able to breathe on your own.
Scary stuff.

under a kiss of shadow's daughter. :-) my fave line of the poem.
thanks for sharing. and i like the digital painting
This watercolor is so lovely; almost Japanese in style...
I just experimented with reading one of my poems on my blog. I think we all hate our voice.
That IS a wonderful poem with so many unusual images and word combinations. Thanks for sharing it. And I LOVE your digital watercolor!
