TubeWrite: Freedom of the Mind

[shamanizing]

Hello Jennifer

Nice work, Amazing

-Ken

[Soundslikeshavon]

beautiful... great video! Like this very much

[IsraeliXdude]

Freedom by definition is absence, i really don't want to be free-minded

[TheRavenOfPoe]

@IsraeliXdude Freedom is also defined as the power to act or speak or think without externally imposed restraints :)

[IsraeliXdude]

@TheRavenOfPoe There is no freedom of thought there is no freedom of action, we are bound and responding to the forces.

[bushna2007]

Very nice indeed!! Also, your hair smells nice!!!

[tomvband]

This is pretty much perfect.  I like it.

[SanguineUltima]

Thank you... I don't know what else to say.

[PerthPete1]

Beautifully evocative Jennifer, cleverly structured, wonderfully performed and produced.

[zunathanzu]

I'm in love. I think I want to marry you. Could I be the one to complete you?

[maninwhitedress]

Nicely done and sweetly spoken.

[viking250972]

You wrote that? I am deeply impressed.

[viking250972]

Beautiful! Like it very much. Yes - deep richness - well spoken!

[TheSunShinesbyGrace]

This is very good Ms Poe. Surprisingly you have rhymed every line and maintained a deep richness.

[Dorfkanal]

Nice!

[trueluv83]

Raven OMG you are amazing!!!!

[justpoetry]

Very nice, added to my favorites!

[TheRavenOfPoe]

Thank you very much! =)

[velvethandofdarkness]

very nice

[hpswin2002]

first look: everything in the words are really imaginary. I feel strange. I can't wait to hear the poem with your nice accent.

after the vid: I'm really impressed. I'm not good in literature even in my language, but I like the creativity of brains. cheers.

[TheRealGentleman]

Very, very lovely and the imagery it evokes reminds me of the short story I'm working on. Thank you for sharing it...the imagery matched it beautifully, I the way your videos look, the black and white, the brightness of the colors and the white on the black, and the look of texture, if that makes any sense...

[sprichbeeke]

You make beautiful...thought provoking videos...

[OsvaldoPaese]

Very cool.

Like a girl i'd seen in a dream telling me about a world i know little of....5 stars.

Love the advanced vastness video quality.

[Seabrook78in]

Cool.

[Fennias]

once again, you are an amazing poet!

El Bog

[ASAngelo]

Perfection.

Eternally.

[harleynanda]

A wonderful poem, insightful with a charming single rhyme scheme. I also am one who likes the visual of the blindfold. One of the things I like most about this poem, if you substitute the word 'ego's' for the word 'society's' in the first verse, it addresses every single critic you have in these comments.

[wowlrus]

great! love it.

[blueastcoast]

that is wicked good =D

[MindForge83]

Final stanza; brilliance. INCREDIBLE job w/the editing (loved the donning of the blindfold!), especially at the end as you end the shot on a beach; it bottled up all the frothing energy you alluded to earlier in the poem. I need to take pointers from you when it comes to reading! Thanks for the inspiration.

[corduroysdelusional]

I hope you win

[7horianfiddler]

In my favorites! You are a true artist!! Littlme moments that become immortal through youtube "reality". Little moments that have something gigantic in their pixel appearance!! Thank you for your videos!!!

[CommentSense]

Very moving as it internalizes the thoughts and feelings of anyone who has lost their liberty - even for a moment. Even in the cause "for" liberty... Visually appropriate.

Mac!

;=]

[HeidiSaid]

This was just wonderful!

[anamcara21]

Yes, I listened again. Five stars.

Ron

[anamcara21]

Nice words, Jennifer. I have an entry or two. Peach Red and the Empty Road. Let me know what you think of it.

Ron

[Goetia78]

good poem

[KrisShred]

wonderful :)

[conundrum66]

very inspiring dear! I love this. I'm adding it to my favourites.

[specter843]

That was simply amazing, thank you for sharing it.

[1imageofme]

very powerfull

ty

[irock61]

nice .. really like ure style ... found u via DRC..

[createrainbowz]

lovely well done. peace xxx

[mozartiikodesu]

I am impressed!!

Your poetry is a masterpiece.

I think that you are already a wonderful poet. There is three power in language.

It's connection, memory, and thinking.

Human beings have lived with language.

I cannot consider the history without language.

Have you ever read the Marienbad Elegy of Goethe?

[pkdouglass]

I love it

[johnirishhere]

my poem for this week, tis lovely!

[wdciii]

I enjoy your verse, Jennifer. -Dennis

[jantheempress]

cool :)

[prosepp]

Ganz klar 5 * + !

[urquiza78]

Indeed a thoughtful poem i wish that i too could write so effectively. Still, i can admire the beauty of another in the same regard that i do all stars, in the hope that oneday the relationship of all will be understood.

Great job RavenOfPoe.

[futurehope65]

Watched again and read your poem just after I heard that the US official casualty has hit 4,000. How true it is, how terribly true.

[TheUnlucky101]

Brilliant, the black and white suits the mood of the poem very well. Frankly, I can't replicate that shot in Premier, the black and white is more of a gray effect in Premier rather than true black and white. :P

Still, as I've said to others; I hold great respect for those who can write stirring poetry, such as this. It truly is an art form I fail at, thereby people who CAN and DO make poetry are all the more impressed upon me. :)

[notthelastword]

"Nice". Inspired.

[notthelastword]

And intelligent.

[TheRavenOfPoe]

Thank you very much James =)

[futurehope65]

I love it! Thank you!

[EightiesGrad]

Wow Jennifer! The hits just keep on coming as I predicted from the start. I remember when there were less than 100 of us subbed! Outstanding job and best of luck in the competition! All My Best. :D 5/5

[AllForTheGlory]

Love the poetry. And the video is very well put together :D All of your videos are amazing so keep on keeping on

[Shriekspear]

Love this! Really sinks inside me and flows through my veins giving me a natural dose of poetic and creative high :).. Amazing

[itfelldown]

Beautiful!

[PoeticLioness]

Beautiful

[AbortD]

The accent is what tops this off . Blessed with a awesome accent I say .

[AericWinter]

A good point well made, Jen. I couldn't agree with you more.

Both a good video and good poem came out of this. I hope you win! (=

[TheRavenOfPoe]

Thank you very much Andreas! =)

[Cherinbrook]

that woz really nice..:)

i liked just how simple it was

[kippoe]

great stuff my friend so glad to see someone using youtube for an art form

[insanekid15]

thanks for the comment! i apreciate your opinion!

[Dudefromisrael]

thet was hevy!

but i like it!

very inspairing.

[cheekychen]

really great poem Raven! It's nice to see his featured on the oz site! I may have to check back here frequently! I hope you like my response :)

[TheRavenOfPoe]

Thank you Paul! I thoroughly enjoyed your response, it was wonderful to see other people putting poetry up on YouTube =)

[k4wdll1]

elegant and powerful. please continue to express with me and stem the tides of negativity.

[TheYouuTubeRipper]

Fan-bloody-tastic, but I don't think YouTube is the place for it. From my experience, YouTube's full of those uncultured yobbo types - oiy!

[snowpatrolbaby]

that was one of the most beautiful poems I've ever heard.

[mithiaur]

Thanks Jenn. Great job!;)

[TriggerHappy6351]

Very nice,very clever...You remind me of that elven chick from Lord Of The Rings...

[gongtatoot]

Really? She reminds me of one of them 40-year-old virgins at the medieval fair. Haha but seriously... great poem =).

[AbortD]

Very beautiful and very calming. I really enjoyed this.

[paisleyduck]

beautiful!

[TheRavenOfPoe]

Thank you Rick! =)

[a51ts2]

The only place anyone can be free is in their own mind.

[Wheelsgr]

No Problem! Just write more and throw it out there! It makes others (like me) think that maybe there is a place for that type of thing on Youtube and it makes me want to put out my own stuff too (eek!).

Keep it up!

[zebidee55]

Absolutely Aleya - it's really scary when you go to do it the first time, but if you get things wrong, you can edit, reshoot, or even pull the video down after it has been posted. Start simple, and you'll find ideas pop into your head all the time. Send me a message when you do.

[ramzesik13]

nice girl but no brainn to marry a footballwer like me and realyy didnnt get the joke

[ramzesik13]

nice girl but no brainn to marry a footballwer like me

[darinlang]

I'm glad you've set your mind free on the internet, sharing yourself with the world. Perhaps some day soon we'll begin to see, no longer a them, but just we.

[Crapulency]

bet she likes dressing up as Arwen from Lord of the Rings

[Wheelsgr]

YouTubers can be so rude at times... I think the poem was great, especially coupled with the fact that you only used one rhyme and it did not turn into a nursery rhyme. It seemed to suggest the sort of uniformity that comes of modern day society. It remained mature and one can actually sit down and analyze it. So yes, I like it and the blindfold I thought to be fitting. Still, I always like your stuff, especially the original pieces.

[TheRavenOfPoe]

Thank you Aleya =)

[Blunty3000]

Freedom? here? yeah good luck with that. Also could you have been any more fucking film-student cliche? uninspired rubbish.

[TheRavenOfPoe]

Exactly the point in the poem ;) One can only be truly free in their mind. As for cliche, it was not intended to be, so I'm sure if I set my mind to it I could create something even more cliche, hehe..

[zebidee55]

Pretty harsh Nate...

[MetalUpYourDupa]

the accent seems fake. she kinda lost it a few times. good poem though

[ThreeofThree]

Her accent is a hybrid. She's lived in several different countries. :)

[bobdole]

film student apparently

[Possumlivingdotcom]

Jen, this is absolutely awesome; both the poem and your delivery of it! Thank you for sharing it with us.

Tracy

[guisao999]

You are beautiful and talk beautiful too

[GrandStyles]

Quite relative. fly as huginn, live as munin.

[TheGreatHuman]

How did this absolute tripe get promoted? The actual footage is fine but the poem is embarassingly poor.

[LoveCraken]

I guess it's good to hear a variety of opinion but is it really that bad? The last verse is pretty cool.

[insanekid15]

i think its wonderful.

[TheGreatHuman]

Well from the feedback (thumbs down) I guess mine isn't a very popular opinion but I really just think this is over done and quite poor. I might be judging it a bit harder because there is a certain level i expect for promoted videos.

[insanekid15]

u must be a poet then.

[prosepp]

maybe you should think about your exspectations.

Seems you are about to be a lil bit abgehoben, wie wir in Deutschland sagen.

Lass dir das von einem lil poor human idiot gesagt sein

[TheGreatHuman]

It's ver immature to call someone an idiot in a language they don't understand. I could use Irish but ní thuigeann tú é agus mar sin, níl aon phointe. All I was giving was my honest opinion, I don't see the point in communal sycophancy.

[prosepp]

i spoke about myself when i spoke about the lil poor human idiot.

I would not say this about someone i don´t know.

Just wanted to tell: You may be TheGreatHuman, and maybe i am only the opposite of that, a lil poor human idiot.

Greetings to Ireland !

[prosepp]

@TheGraetHuman:

sorry. I give you the translation:

"Seems to me you might be a little bit lift off, as we call it in German.

Let a lil poor human idiot tell that to you"

[TheGreatHuman]

No worries, thanks for clearing that! I am sometimes geat.

[gilbertojrivasf]

Good interpretation, good inspiration, good expectator...... me!

the maelstrom of lenore...

[AvesOrpheon]

Deine Videos sind Lichtblicke im grauen Internet... vielen Dank dafür und weiter so! :)

[ralfonzo83]

beautiful! and your skin shines!!

[TheRavenOfPoe]

Thank you Ralf!

[Lost0Poet]

not only are u hot lol but brilliant as well! i loved it.

[djplazma]

Wow! While viewing this I found myself holding my breath. You are a true talent.

[wesgs128]

Yo te doy, parece que te falta una alegria, tengo un lapiz grande para que sigas componiendo tus hermosos poemas my lady.

[BohemianConspiracy]

yo tambien tengo un otro lapiz por aqui...y te lo digo ...yo pienso que la chica aqui prefiere el color mio... :)

mmmhhh...our post or not at the level of this poetry... but you started it Mr "wesgs128"...

[wesgs128]

shut the fuck up idiot, shows something of respect for the lady "Mr.BohemianConspiracy "

[ed4920]

you are beautiful!!!! i love your videos. always do inspire me :)

-Rachel

[barrtarr]

My friends and I love this.We sit around and laugh for hours at the Dr seuss complexity and general hilarity of it.Please make more, maybe one where you rhyme bad with sad or cat and fat

[zebidee55]

Oh look - I think I see a video of a monkey or two dogs shagging! Maybe that'd be more your speed.

[ThreeofThree]

hehehe Michael!

[barrtarr]

There was only one dog,the other was your sister when she went outside 2 release the spider from your deeply captivating film.Thanks 4 taking an interest though.'Weird' is spelt like so,not wierd.I learned it from the monkey urinating in its mouth.

[zebidee55]

Yep! I only saw the typo after I posted it, but thanks for pointing it out - I'll try harder next time I make a video. Like you said, thanks for taking an interest. I'll give my sister your regards.

[ThreeofThree]

Wooo! Go jen go on those responses! hehehe 1 min..24 sec...12 sec

[TheRavenOfPoe]

hehe!

[TheRavenOfPoe]

Thank you Reid =)

[Nakedskin]

can you responed to my lord byron peom!!

great reader tops im a music composer and would love to compose for one of you videos

[FlaviusAetiusII]

Loved it! Beautifully written and superbly edited!

[TheRavenOfPoe]

Thank you Jack! =)

[charlyandjosh]

Featured again?

You rule Australian YouTube, Jen! :-D

[TheRavenOfPoe]

Population size must be taken into account, hehe! Thanks Charly and Josh =)

[HeyJeremyC]

Your eyes are amazing.

[zebidee55]

LOL! This hater comment would make more sense if the poem was actually about stealing...

"It's not complex babe." Um, obviously it is slightly too complex for some.

[skullbullet]

Excellent! A marvelous product of words in motion.

[LoveMattersMost]

Hi Jen,

Loved all the subtle touches:

*Blk and Wt. to focus on the words, not the image.

*Fade to blindfolded image and back to symbolize oppression.

*Defiant, upward tilt of the head at the end.

*Dark and stormy waves, to symbolize inner turmoil.

*Great poetic message-"My mind shall be forever free."

I think you have convincingly proved, there IS a place for Art on YouTube. Thanks!

[TheRavenOfPoe]

It is rewarding to have my poem so perfectly understood- Thank you Brian =)

[SupremeCosmicForce]

very nice video

[Egglesplork]

____That's a change. I sorta expected her to sell me scented products. Have her speak in in a whisper. "Obsession... Calvin Klein's...OBSESSION." Who wants Calvin Klein's OBSESSION, anyway? If you do want it, he'll probably come after you to get it back. He's probably already got it from her. Lots of people get lots of things from lots of people, too, if they aren't protected. I'm glad the girl's not selling stuff, 'cause I'm not buying.

[simplydaft]

Simply beautiful.

[merickinhawaii]

Very, Very, good !

[TheRavenOfPoe]

thanks Rick!

[ASAngelo]

Simply perfect.

Cograts Miss RavenofPoe on being Featured on YouTube in Australia.

:)

Angelo

[TheRavenOfPoe]

Many thanks to you, Angelo ;)

[hjordanian]

nice! youtube needs more art. or, is is Art? or, ART!! or, a r t. that word always confuses me.

[T0bSure]

a cat

sat on a mat

wearing a hat

then it shat

and that

was that

[zebidee55]

Cool. Now you've discovered iambic meter and rhyming you might want to put some structure in before you mock someone who actually does know what they're doing.

[charelsalopez]

Heavy on the EEEE's.

Thank you.

[djmastervolume]

Awesome Jen...Thanks for your video.

[ThreeofThree]

Beautiful as usual, Jen. Love the hair once again!

[TheRavenOfPoe]

Aw thank you Ash ;)

[ouREvilone]

Oh I feel the same way about life at this moment and how it works. This poem really validates what I feel right now. Very good! :)

[TheRavenOfPoe]

Thank you Rich! To know others in the world share the same views and thoughts is wonderful indeed! =)

[Sugartalker]

You're soo great at this. I can't help but pay attention :)

[TheRavenOfPoe]

Thank you ST! ;)

[eatingclouds]

That was a beautiful poem, and definitely proves the point that an auditory medium can enhance a poem. My favorite lines were: "No longer is there and I or a Me - Only a Them against a We." and "While locked is the will and lost the key." It was lovely writing, and I must disagree that it is cliched as is commented below. The idea of being trapped in society's views may be universal, but it is an original and interesting poem nonetheless. and poems do not HAVE to suprise the reader...

[TheRavenOfPoe]

Thank you very much, eatingclouds =)

[klogmurg]

very nice poem , reminds me of the wind rushing and winding its way within time

[FunToRelate]

nice! youtube needs more art. or, is is Art? or, ART!! or, a r t. that word always confuses me.

[uziyahuidf]

You should star in every movie set in medieval times for the next 20 years, at least!

A blessed man your husband will be.

[mjt23omega]

bah... you are still lacking in an understanding of a simple but fundentamental quality of poetry: surprise. poetry is the language of surprise. not cliche. WATCH (spur of the moment btw): United in division our rallied taunts of contradiction echo lighting streaks upon rapacious retinas Our dense clomping cluster at last unto Styx herself! only to find The Ferryman requires the line move single file...

[zebidee55]

OK, now all you have to do is film it and post it.

[mjt23omega]

Nah no thanks. my poem sucked and was only a quick improvised example of my point. i only made my point because i believe a true artist should value criticism more than praise

[zebidee55]

No worries. I just get defensive when I think people are taking a pot-shot at a friend of mine, when all she's tried to do is something good. No harm, no foul. Thankyou for responding.

On the positive side, maybe you actually would like to have a go at posting something. It's the first step that's the hardest, and it can be quite rewarding. Everyone you watch had to go through it at some stage.

[13thDimension]

yes

[EightiesGrad]

Let the global exposure begin once again,

For it comes from the intellect of my friend Jen!

Congrats & Good Luck!!! 5/5

-Dale :D

[ZachrielCL]

And we have a winner! Oh Jenny, I am amazed that you can write so beautifuly! I mean, I knew you had it in you, but this is just WOW! Everyday you are going higher and higher into the YouTube stardom!

[TheRavenOfPoe]

[vampirbloodlust]

[acejackalope]

Wow...I don't have words. Fortunately, you do.

[discoduck]

A beautiful and moving poem, Raven. The music sets the mood nicely, too.

[ManWhoDigs]

Wonderful.

[partyguy135]

Great poem and subject matter. God job on the editing too :)

[TheRavenOfPoe]

Thank you Janeczka! =)
