victim by phil burns
Click here to hear the poet read his words:
victims
the boys circle the pretty girls
it is always nature’s way
I observe them preening awkwardly
preparing what to say
I see again my friend in bed
I thought I’d recognise him
the illness causes drastic change
his youthfulness surprising
the elephant moves closer to the fence
and with its trunk finesses
her face and hand are gently stroked
by the softest of caresses
the youngster throws a tantrum
marches angrily ahead
the father reacts badly
you are going straight to bed
I grimace now my ribs still sore
from being assaulted by the mail-man
the boys move on selected prey
before their nerves can fail them
the dance of life must never change
it goes on ceaselessly
I drift towards my shadowed lair
before anyone can see me

Wonderful, of course! Thank you.
I was wondering what method you use (programs, etc…) to get your voice into WP. I downloaded a free program and got my voice into form, but it is not acceptable to WP.

Thanks, Scott, glad you enjoyed. It is good to get feedback!
I record on my phone, then transfer the mp4 to my laptop and convert it to mp3 for WP.
The sound quality on my phone is much better than my PC.
Feel free to ask more here or on FB, okay?

Well then, I will pick your brain once more…what program do you use to convert to mp3? I can’t find one that specifically does that and is free.
