[COMPLETE] Petunia Blossoms, by Dorothea Auguste Gunhilde Schrage - icequeen

[silverquill]

Thank you for clearing the mud on the timing! I'm sure it's tricky keeping all the duckies in their rows.

I had several pairs of shoes in mind as I read, but especially my sweet sneakers from the late 80s. I still lament them.

I'd like to read...

21 Coming Home

32 My Lillian

33 Swope Park

I've assigned you these poems with pleasure.
I wondered who would take a walk through Swope Park.
Kansas City doesn't have much to recommend itself for, but Swope is a nice place.
I think It may have made an appearance in one of my poems, back in the day.

May I claim sections 34, 35, and 37?

Sure!
Just let me know exactly how you would like to be listed in the LibriVox catalog -- real name, pseudonym, or any nickname/handle you wish. This is how you will be credited for all of your LV work.

I would love to do sections 35 and 42 if possible

Sure!

Clare Gramlich is preferred. Also I see that section 35 is now taken, so I will stick with just 42.

Thank you!

Oh, I'm sorry. I should have saved that one for you. Do feel free to select some others.
I've added you to the LibriVox catalog and assigned you Section 42.

Thank you for a nice reading of this poem!

Only on minor thing that needs attention.
The opening silence should be between 1/2 and 1 second, no more. The silence here is 2 seconds, so needs to be trimmed. You're close enough to the 5 seconds at the end, so nothing to change there. Soon, these little things will become automatic.

Just upload your corrected file with the same name and post the link here again, with the new file length as mm:ss, so we can give it a quick check.

Very good reading!

I've never been to Swope Park, but this sure brought back memories of parks and zoos with my mom ... and my children.
