floating and leaving no trace
My poem for Day 7 of the Tuple 30/30 project can be read here, but you can listen to it on this very page.
You get to hear it because I was told that I had to go first by my poet friend Pleasant Street, if I wanted to hear her read one of her recent poems. If that’s not old school, I don’t know what is.
She’s No Betty Grable.
Today, with spring still peeking shyly around the corner, we have a poem about a little bit of winter hanging on. The is from Frank Hubeny (his site is here). Check out the March 2017 Open Mic Page for a link to his poem and to listen to the other great voices from this month,.
Pleasant Street posted the words to this poem the other day (you need to follow her site) and it struck a chord with me so I asked her to record it.
You’re lucky, because she said yes, and here it is, on the March 2017 Open Mic Page.
You can appear here, too. Read the details on the page and submit away.
Robert Okaji, who is peerless in my opinion, has contributed a reading. You can find it on the March 2017 Open Mic Page.
If you want to read some poetry that makes you say, “I wish I wrote that,” be sure to visit his site.
Pleasant Street (her blog is here) is first up at the mic. Take a listen on the March Open Mic Page.
And then submit your own. SUBMIT! I command you!
What’s that thing March comes in like? A lion? Are you ready to roar?
Well, lube up those lips and start your mouth exercises. It may be late, but it’s not never, so read one of your poems out loud, record it, and share it. Are you waiting for a written invitation?

Hey, we have a new contributor for this month’s Open Mic. Jim Feeney of stopdraggingthepanda sent me a link to a reading of one of his poems. Check out the February 2017 Open Mic Page and swing by Jim’s site!
Why, it’s from me! It’s the third most popular poem from my site last (according to WordPress stats) and it’s oddly appropriate for today’s date.
Please head over to the February 2017 Open Mic Page with all due haste and suffer through the madness inducing tones of my eldritch vocalizations. And the only cure for such madness is to make your audio offering. After all, ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn!
And now we’ve got a lovely little 50 words story of what you get when you play with fire from Poet Rummager. Visit her site and check out all of the golden voices who’ve contributed this month on the February 2017 Open Mic Page.
A new reading is available on the February Open Mic Page and it’s a great one from Pleasant Street. You need to go follow her site. It’s worth your time.
Also, listen to the other audio delectables on the Open Mic Page, and while you’re there, why not warm up your vocal cords and participate?
