I've attached an .mp3 to "For the Love of Words" so that it can now be heard as well as read. First time for me, though there are others on site who are skilled at it.

tfawcus:

Those of you who were kind enough to review The Song Thrush, may be interested to know that a superb reading of the ballad by Pantygynt has now been added to the post.
Many thanks, both to him and to Ciliverde, who converted the reading to an .mp3 sound file for me. Thanks also to Robyn Corum, who suggested it.

May 9, 2016 at 4:53PM
    Taffspride: It was a great rendition of it. I enjoyed listening to it.
    May 9, 2016 at 5:55PM
    Jannypan (Jan) : While the length of the poem seems long, hearing it spoken aloud makes it all worthwhile. You can follow along with the words or just listen. But, it really makes it awesome to hear it. I would recommend this to all. Jan

tfawcus:

I have found much poetry in a life of flying, teaching and farming. Most of it has been kept within but a few fragments have escaped onto the printed page. When all else is done, only the poetry survives. It is that which defines us.

September 12, 2013 at 8:28PM
    Ideasaregems-Dawn: I couldn't agree more. :0) Having said that, now what does that say when one reads "Fleas"? (Hahahaha - couldn't resist! Feel free to delete my miserable comment, though I LOVE that poem.) *Grinning hugely*

    Ten poets participated in this contest and presented the most wonderful blank verse poetry I've read in quite some time. The entries included blank verse sonnets, quatrains and epic narratives. All are distinctive, creative and worthy of the winners' circle.

    Thanks to all who participated and to those in the FanStory community who took the time to read and review all ten entries and participate in the voting.

    I wold encourage anyone interested in reading superb verse to read the entries.

    Dorothy Farrell: Tony, I never doubted you would win the blank verse poem. Always a joy to read work by a real poet - no drivel or wasted words - superior in every respect. We should all aspire to write as well as you - damn you. To find a typo, all too rare, in your work, I frantically hook on and can't wait to chastise you - just joking (No I'm not) LOL.

From our own Sandra Leon-Gonzalez:

Introducing Life Through Poetry and Art. Enjoy poetry reflecting the highs and lows of life, but ultimately seeing the light in every situation.

Having experienced tough challenges and learning to bounce back from life’s inevitable setbacks, she desires to share hopefulness, even when it seems that all is lost.

These poems are about a life’s journey through self-evaluation, seeing oneself in a positive space while asserting self-empowerment, growth and acceptance of the “new you”. The author also points out that it is important to identify negative energy, deflect them in their path, and forge ahead to the best part of oneself while embracing the beauty of art and poetry.
