I've always felt that ambiguity is an important part of poetry. Wow. That one comment kind of just changed the whole way I think about poetry and art in general. :idea: I've always been focused on "getting it right" and figuring out what the writer really meant and now I realize I approac...

A nice job. Thank you! PL OK! My only comment, I suppose, is not to be afraid to emote a bit more. But a nice presentation! Oh interesting!

I can't speak for everyone else for positively sure, but most readers read along and if they make a mistake they keep the tape running and repeat the line or phrase until it sounds right, and when they complete the record...

My try; I've only done a couple weekly poems so far, so the longer length of this poem was a challenge! I'm sure it's nothing to the expert folks here, but phew, as a newbie, it's harder than expected not to goof up somewhere along the the 2 minute stretch. But I guess the silver lining is that goof...

Thank you for the search tips, checking it out now! Being a listener has taken on a different facet ...
