Nope!
It's a bright new day
To be doing things my way
But none of those things will be
Reading aloud my poetry
I'm not confident enough
With my voice I'm not in love
That may make me inauspicious
But at least I am not vicious
Sorry for the gripe
But I'm not the sanguine type
Perhaps it's pessimistic not to try
But I don't want to--I can't lie
Flying into the wind with a smile
Is really not my style
I can't be buoyant at my size
I'm not the type to tell lies
It's not that I'm all negative
I try to live positive
But I don't much like the sound of my voice
So I'll write my poem by choice!

Notes:
Dear Morgan, I love you and the wonderful OctPoWriMo challenge. However, sorry, but no way! The world will just have to miss out on hearing my voice recorded. Recording myself speaking makes me damn near as nervous as public speaking, which makes me light-headed with terror and I want to throw up. So, I'm going to be chicken and allow myself to continue breathing normally for a while longer!
Haha Et Tu.. me too.. no problem in not voicing our words.. even i feel writing is better form..
ReplyDeleteBravo! That's the spirit of a brave and independent mind :)
ReplyDeleteThat's lovely! :)
ReplyDeleteLove it! No need to feel like that, huh? Love your poem!
ReplyDeleteI don't know how to go about recording a poem either.
ReplyDeleteYour apologia is charming!
:)
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your poem and the personal note. I knew that there would be those that couldn't or wouldn't do this challenge and that is alright. I'm glad you and Team Netherworld are participating again this year, I always enjoy reading your poems.
