poem videos

Here's my poem video:
                I've posted the poem below as well.

HERE is a classic Dylan cue card music video from '65 w/ Allan Ginsberg in the background.

And HERE is a great spoken word about being pretty. 

A few reminders for yours:

1.  Use a tripod.  The Blair Witch Project moment is over.
2.  Consider lighting carefully. Natural light is best; augmented indoor light is good.
3.  Frame more tightly than you think you need to.
4.  Shoot much more video than you think you'll need.  Typically you'll get only 1 good minute for every 10 minutes shot- if you're lucky.
5. Consider open source video for remixing such as this- https://archive.org/  or this- http://vimeo.com/creativecommons
6. creative commons open source music here- https://creativecommons.org/legalmusicforvideos

Coffee Word.

My friend Linda says

sometimes she wants to go to bed

Just so she can get up

For that first cup of coffee.

And my first cups were

milky lattes in the open cafes

of Aix-en-Provence

until money got low and

bitter espresso

was all I could afford.

Like Prufrock

“I have measured out my life with coffee spoons”

Dark thick brews with Sunday news

Of third world lives and book reviews

Coffee’s casual rituals

Its pauses habitual for

Warm buzz and words

printed or spoken in

Dim crowded rooms or in

weak November sun.
