It seems the universe has converged to tell me that NOW is the time to step into the sphere of spoken-word. I’ve been talking about doing this for a while. I was blown away by seeing Kate Tempest perform recently, several kind people have suggested my stuff would work well as performance poetry and now I’ve actually been asked to produce a spoken-word piece for a local publication (exciting! terrifying!)
So I’ve been messing about with Soundcloud… and here’s a little experiment and a taster. (This is not THE poem – just a little off-the-cuff-poem to test the waters).
What do you think?

I think you sound really good! Nice and clear sound and I like the tempo.
Thank-you
Goosebumps!!
I like how calm and collected you speak. Plus the content. And the accent, mate!
Well done, Claire 🙂
I like! 🙂 I also very much agree with it’s meaning and sentiment. x
Hi. I’m new to the blogging life and am interested in spoken word and literature and just helping people if you could read my work and follow me I’d appreciate it. Thank you
I’m very new to spoken word myself! Good luck with your blog. Thanks for stopping by…
Aw thank you I hope you succeed in your new venture
what a voice! good diction, eloquent.
do the breaks in the speaking have to come at the ends of the lines?
I don’t think so… but it’s all a learning curve at this stage. Thanks for listening! 🙂
ClaireD, if this takes off (and it should, it’s good) you may have to change your moniker to DClaire
Lol – never thought of that! I like Clairevetica as an artist name tho… 🙂
