Auditory Response To Appledore Sounds

I very often employ soundscapes when I read my poems: a guitar, flute, electronic blips etc. When I write them, I am influenced by the sounds around me too. There's no escape! Being involved with the Appledore Book Festival, with it's buzzing and creative atmosphere is heaven for me.

Sounds And Poetry Are One. (1)

My head

is a tape recorder

as well as

a camera

and computer.

I enjoy

absorbing sounds

and

storing them.

I enjoy the sounds

as much

as the images

I chance upon.

I have not

quite turned into

a digital recorder.

I am

magnetic:

open to,

and expecting

distortion.

Eccentrically.

Colin.
