So, for anyone else who wants to know:<BR/><BR/>It's Little Bay, on the Coromandel Peninsula, in the North Island! :)S.

I may just try a spoken poem next time around, to add some variety to what senses are being tickled.<BR/>I'm keen to do something with my Saint Antoine market poem, which is already in the pipeline. <BR/><BR/>But I think reading the poem and hearing it are different experiences, and I will probably keep doing both. :)S.

I've heard it done really effectively with a Pablo Neruda poem.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04871239587214383387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22117802.post-7846169479598914172007-03-02T15:07:00.000+01:002007-03-02T15:07:00.000+01:00Minx,It's really satisfying to be able to mix all ...Minx,<BR/>It's really satisfying to be able to mix all of these things together. There's pleasure, for me, on all levels. Hopefully that gets passed on. I imagine people need to play it a few times to really catch all the elements, as Goodthomas said. There's nothing like pulling out all the stops!<BR/><BR/>Jason,<BR/>Thanks. I look forward to checking out your creations too. There's so much scope out there, in terms of sending out our words! :)S.

Shameless, as long as you don't tell me you're a sculptor as well... oh I really will swoon! :-)Suzan Abrams, email: suzanabrams@live.co.ukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08818807164881810296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22117802.post-3929786300967152582007-03-01T17:14:00.000+01:002007-03-01T17:14:00.000+01:00GT,Thanks.

Anyway, good that you went back for a second dose, which is always a good thing! :)S.

My senses concentrate on two things really well but with three, I lose my focus. I was reading the poetry and was pulled by the visual images. I wanted to really enjoy each part of this. I had to watch it twice to really get it all, and I wanted to get it all. The images, the words, the music were beautiful.<BR/><BR/>Your talents, good sir, seem endless.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22117802.post-54765124811098556742007-03-01T15:35:00.000+01:002007-03-01T15:35:00.000+01:00Susan,I'm glad you liked the video ... it seems a ...Susan,<BR/>I'm glad you liked the video ... it seems a bit shaky in this large window, but it would be a shame to reduce it too much into a smaller window!:)<BR/>I had to change the poem at the end to fit the location as well.S.
