TubeWrite: These Hands Are My Hands

[emmster5912]

awesome poem! i was wondering what your name is? i'd like to use this poem for a poetry program for a competition and i need to cite the title and author. thanks!

[DaughterOfSappho]

I'm flattered that you like it so much, but I'm afraid I'm not comfortable with it being used by someone other than myself. Sorry, gotta hold tight to my copyright.

Good luck finding (or writing) a poem for that competition.

[DaughterOfSappho]

Thanks! I probably won't be posting anything, though (not for awhile, at least). The youtube format isn't really my style. But hey, who knows!

Very nice.

This video is amazingly fabulous. The pictures painted by your words alone are vivid and moving.....and the images you provide are well placed and show a wide range of creativity. This is a wonderful answer to the question of art in the digital world. Kudos!

I've just listened again to your video. I hope you are going to share more of your work with us. I really do.

Ron,

Thank you so much! I am beyond flattered. I do hope to upload more of my writing in the future, but probably not for a few weeks (lots to do). I feel kind of bad, though, because I spent a lot of time and effort on this one piece that I'm afraid everyone's getting their hopes up for my other writings.

Thank you again, and g'luck to you as well.

Cheers,

Willow

'These hands ...are my eyes when I am blinded by beauty' - wonderful. This is modern language, but there is something reminiscent of Jane Austen, Virginia Wolf, Maya Angelou. To me a good poem (or good writing) asks to be listened to many times, and is really about something in life that matters. This work exceeds these criteria, in my opinion. You are an excellent writer, and you should be published if that's what you wish.

Good luck with the contest,

All the best,

Ron

so i was going to say you kick ass or you rock my world but,

Willow you rock my ASS!!!!

This is floating above the rest of the videos sent in! I hope they see the beauty within your video because you deserve the recognition. (and the money)

[DaughterOfSappho]

Whoa. I don't think I've ever rocked somebody's ass before...I'm, uh, honored?

Thank you so much, it means a lot that you liked it, I respect you a lot as an artist (although I know I've only seen a small fraction of your work)

Miss you,

Willow

[chickiebuffer125]

Whoa, WIllow that was amamzing. I didn't know anything about it before you showed me so I had no idea hat to expect, but it was really moving. I'm so excited to have watched it. and I can imagine how stressed you were about it, you didn't have anything to worry about though.

[DaughterOfSappho]

Thanks Jayne! Let you know how it goes? Let you know how it goes?!? I'm going to be calling you the day before they announce the semi-finalists and you'll be like "Willow, calm down, calm down, willow...willow...SHUT UP!" Haha...ohh...jk. Or am I?

[anamcara21]

Hi,

Your words are most appropriate for the stills sequence of the video. This is very hard to do, I think. The main part for me is the words, which are lovely and winsome, artistic and philosophical. I will have to play this several more times but this deserves five stars.

Ron

[DaughterOfSappho]

Wow...thank you! I'm glad it's worth watching more than once.
