Audio Contest and Comments

To all the winners - nicely done. What was the criteria used?

In no special order:

Authenticity (the voice actually had to be yours)
Originality
Competent reading
Good poetry
Enthusiasm
Um, there actually had to be an audio attached

Quality of the recording

I really hope this contest encourages more to utilize the audio feature, It adds another layer to your artistry. Plus it can be really fun!


Wishing all a nice Wednesday evening!

Woody

I would have entered if I knew how to post an audio. I feel Jurassic when it comes to technology.

It took me a few tries to figure it out. At the bottom of the "submit poem form" there are instructions on how to attach audio. I use an android phone, so first I recorded an audio and theN simply attached it before I posted. Actually It took me more than a few tries to figure it out. LOL

Mate, I’m not an Aussie but I am a dingo who speaks the lingo. I’m more Mel Gibson than Steve Irwin. Crikey!!
