Challenge
I love hearing poetry recited and It's been a while since we've had a spoken word challenge. Let's read poetry out loud. I remember how nice it was to hear the voices of our Prosers when we had this challenge. Let's give it another go? You can recite your own poetry or choose a Proser to choose from your work to read. You can also choose to read another Proser's poetry if they allow you to. Post the link of your recording on your challenge entry. (sound cloud, google drive, etc.)

Gold Stars and Hues of Blue (Audio)
As requested by @poetsdream, here is a reading of my piece "Gold Stars and Hues of Blue"
Really hate my voice... but here we go.

Through blurry vision
and puffy eyes
the streetlights are
my stars tonight
Dipped in gold
they shine bright
The amber glow
beckons me to follow
The brisk unforgiving
January breeze
makes its way through
my knee high
lace up boots
and coat
then embraces me
from head to toe
and whispers the words
I wish you'd say
Of course
I know my love
will never be enough
My once black ink
now runs the saddest
shade of blue
I'll sign this letter
at the corner
where paper meets pen
before I fade to black
and send it out
into the wasted night
