how do you do that? for National Poetry Month

+Amanda Rachelle Warren, for national poetry month, asked people to read aloud a poem on video and post it here to Google+ (http://goo.gl/KH9T7). How could I refuse someone so passionate about poetry? #pocketpoem

how do you do that?

a gaze
a glitter
sparkling
spies
my inner
thoughts
before you
lie
I race
to cover
an undressed
thought
my heart
a flitter
my mouth
gone dry
I've not said
a single
word
and yet
there's nothing
you've
not learned

  3. Scott Cramer says:

    Thanks +Laurie Morrison and +Kyla Myers – you are too kind. Took me most of the day to build up the gumption. It was easier to brush my teeth with mustard. 😉

  4. Laurie Morrison says:

    I have NO idea WHY, you have an excellent speaking voice & you read well. Next time just relax & have fun, what's the worst that can happen??? & bonus, you don't even have to brush your teeth again!!

    Cramers are AWESOMESAUCE!

  20. Scott Cramer says:

    Inspired tonight by the queen word nerd herself, miss +Amanda Rachelle Warren .

  21. Keith Cramer says:

    I hope Poem in Your Pocket Day was a success!

  22. Amanda Rachelle Warren says:

    I think it was an incredible success. I even contacted the folks at the Academy of American Poetry (they promote Poem in Your Pocket Day) and let them know about our #pocketpoem hashtag on G+…they got it going on twitter (bleh), but not to the same effect.
    Thanks for being brave enough to share! Reading poetry is kind of unnerving sometimes.

  23. Kyla Myers says:

    It's only 11:30 here, I have another half hour to try not chickening out!

  24. Amanda Rachelle Warren says:

    Do it +Kyla Myers ! Be brave!

  25. Kyla Myers says:

    Fine, but I'm doing mine on a coward. 🙂

  26. Kyla Myers says:

    In viewing it I realized I still have the 80s glam make-up wearing my face like a melted ice cream.

  27. Keith Cramer says:

    No go +Kyla Myers ?

  28. Kyla Myers says:

    I broke the internets along the way.

  29. Keith Cramer says:

    +Kyla Myers hahaha. nuff said. 🙂

  30. Jim Gomes says:

    +Scott Cramer I'm not sure what the problem is, but I can't get the video link to work on your post and on +Keith Cramer post. When I click on what looks to be the video link, it brings up a static picture. No video. It must be a mobile glitch. I'll try another time when I'm on my desktop computer.

  31. Scott Cramer says:

    +Jim Gomes I'm wondering if it is a G+ thing. The first third of Keith's video for me is really choppy with only a few frames of video and audio only, then it suddenly works. I tried it a bunch of times. A couple days ago a few people were saying the could not get a video on Matthew Rappaport's stream to play at all. No clue!

  32. Keith Cramer says:

    I noticed the same thing on mine when I played it back later. Yours works fine for me though.
