Like I mentioned in an earlier post, I’ve been playing around on Instagram lately and having fun with it. I recently made a video of a reading of one of my recent poems that I wanted to share!
I was inspired to do a recorded poetry reading by something Jennifer at Thistle Thoughts shared recently. One of Jennifer’s friends did a reading of her Jam Jar: Benchmarked prose – and it was fantastic. I highly recommend checking it out – here’s the link.
For my video, I read a short poem called “Long, Strange Decay.” Here’s the video below:
Hope you enjoyed it and let me know what you think! It was fairly simple to make. The hardest part was figuring out how to upload it onto Instagram (lol). I downloaded some free-to-use music that was suitably foreboding and put it in the background.
Thanks for reading (and listening)!
Excellent reading! Thanks for the shout out as well.
Thank you Jennifer! And no problem
Neat to hear you do a poetry reading. And that horror movie kind of sound that you put underneath added a dread-feeling layer underneath that went really well with your poem.
Thanks Dave!
I liked it.
Really nice.
Foreboding voice. 🙂
Thank you, Terveen!
Listened to this a few times to catch all the words — this reading was strangely mesmerising. Excellent poem.
Thanks so much!
