Poetry out loud
Once again, it's Poetry Thursday and once again, I'm doing this really late but better late than never right? This week's challenge was to stage a poetry reading in your own backyard. Pick a poem to read aloud and then share your experience. Now, I normally don't read poetry out loud. It always sounds too weird to me. But, since it is Poetry Thursday and since Michele has already set such a brave and wonderful example, I thought I'd give it a try. So, for you souls brave enough to click on the little linky, you'll get to hear yours truly. (I've listened to it a few times and I think I sound like a five-year-old but whatever.)
The poem is titled "What Do Women Want?" and it's by Kim Addonizio, who is one of my absolute favorites poets. She, along with Sharon Olds, Dorianne Laux, and Louise Gluck, makes me all swoony.
Enjoy, and try to keep the snickering to a minimum.

That was great! Awesome! Fantastic reading. You totally don't sound like a five year old.
Thanks for being fearless and doing an audio post.
That poem made me all tingly too.
I practiced for like a half an hour and that was the best I could do. At least now I know that a career in voiceover work is out.
Absolutely grand, thank you.
I loved that poem! Have you read the poem over at PoetMom's blog yet? That red dress definitely goes with the Candies in her piece :-).
No but I'll check it out. She writes some really good stuff.
Wow, we are on the same wavelenght! Love Kim, Sharon, Louise and Dorianne.
Looking forward to reading more of your blog!
As long as you could hear me over the giggles I guess it's okay.
