The sounds are so delicious. I read it once myself, and then listened to you read it. I could hear the sounds in my head already, but hearing them as the poet intends is such a treat.
Thanks so much for reading and listening, Margaret. It means a lot to get some feedback on the audio part, I like to do it but I feel I have a ways to go. This one just demanded I provide a reading as it was coming out of me like that
Love the noticings and how you are draw us up to them. A piece with striking sound even as I read it. Just caught the audio read there, the softer round sounds and harsher ones harmonise so well in symphony.
isn't it so amazing how much attention is paid by the builders crafting the tops of the buildings, and so little attention paid to the tops of the buildings by the people below?
it almost feels voyeuristic in a sense, to look up from the street below to see the artwork topping the buildings.
Great one, David, and I really enjoyed listening as I was reading. The overlaps with sounds in the short lines really fit the image well. Probably what I liked most was how well the two went together. Really well done!
Thanks James. I really like having the recordings but I dont often have the time and space to do it for each post. With this one however it demanded a reading so I managed to speak loud enough to record but not so loud as to wake up the 2 year old 😂
Love, love, love this, David! 💛
🙏🙏🙏🙏 thanks for reading Fotini
Always a pleasure, David :)

I get it. For what it’s worth, your audio sounds very good—steady and articulate.

I'm looking up too now.
Great! Keep looking up!
Safely though, look out for pedestrians, cyclists and bollards.
Ha ha, danger is everywhere!
I love how the collage and poem speak to each other. Thank you for sharing your art too.
Brilliant, thanks for the feedback, I've been enjoying sharing the images and sometimes the poems are more closely related like this one.

Yes its the key to really enjoying the architecture in our cities, most of it is out of sight but its sometimes the most interesting part!
Thanks for reading!
I love the combination of words and visuals.
Awesome, it's been fun experimenting with it.

Excellent! A wonderfully sonorous and sometimes cacophonous concatenation!
Brilliant, thanks for reading!
Love the staccato. And, as always, the Irish :)
😅🙏🙏🙏 thank you, Rena!
Love it!
Brilliant to hear, thanks for reaching out, Aaron
Rich in details and in the sounds of those details—Well done, indeed, David!
That means a lot, Paul. Thank you.
Look up, yes. Beauty in the crumbling, in the ancient, in the decay.
