Okay, here we go! Marvin Bell’s These Green Going to Yellow
Tell me what you think of my new project. Crazy? Boring? Delightful? Why am I doing it?
I love hearing from you 🙂
Beautiful poem, beautifully recited! The chirping noises coming from outside were a wonderful touch, haha 🙂 You recite poetry well, not everyone does. Looking forward to more in the future.
Oh Abby I LOVE this whole concept. How I love poetry! I listened three times. I have a hearing disability so it is me, not you. Then I looked up the poem so I could read the words and be sure I heard correctly. The squeaking sounds were a distraction until I read that it is piglets and then I fell head over heels in love.
I so look forward to this year of poetry. I love the written word, the spoken word (isn’t it delicious to be read to?) – so powerful! I have always said words are medicine, and you quierda are a healer.
Have you read Mark Nepo’s “I Bow To All”? I venture to say you offer that kind of friendship. I bow to you, your talent, your medicine, and your passion.
I already love this year in poetry … makes me feel closer to you! You know how I am about poetry – basically lost – but how lovely to hear your voice move over the words. Perhaps I shall learn something!?

Thanks, it was fun really once I got over the idea of “performance” the squeaking was piglets on the loose!
Piglets! Hahaha!!

I think sometimes poetry is more accessible when its read aloud. Super glad your excited about the project. xoxox
