What a way to start the day! Lyrically, with Blue singing a love poem a`capella. There is something innocent and yet endearing about the way that you've chosen to present this piece. From a film making perspective (of which I know very little) I think it has a personal, rustic charm that draws the viewer into the composition as a whole. It has je ne sais quoi - perhaps an appeal that crosses artistic and cultural boundaries in a way that is pleasing to a broad audience. I know you're hearing the music in your head and I too strove to hear the accompaniment and to feel the rhythm of your breath and expression as you vocalized the lyrics. Also there was the pausing - for you it was a moment of faulty recall - but in a way, it was also a dramatic interpretation of the singer, reflecting upon what has just been said. A serendipitous malfunction in my opinion as it did not detract but rather enhanced the overall performance. Even the slight blush of color was poetic and apropos to the effort. All in all I think it's marvellous and it leaves me wanting to get some musicians, book some studio time and archive you working on the finished product.

WOW!
You are a very beautiful girl...of course, we knew that already.
And you are an incredibly talented writer. We knew that, too.
And...you have an amazingly beautiful voice! Girl, you are totally awesome!!
Great lyrics, great music, fantastic song...
Kinda hard on the neck, sitting with my head tilted over...but worth it!
The rooster in the background made me smile...is he auditioning for you?
He could be your back up singer...."Blue and the Bird"...

You can sing. I like hearing your voice and the song. A beautiful song and remember singing without music and support is very hard. You did very well. Thank you for the amazing video and the poetry.

Thank you, Coyote. Your reviews do not disappoint. :)
Wow, a video! My goodness, that takes it to a full new level. First, you know I like the song, but for Heaven's sake, you have an incredible voice! Even with the rooster accompanying you, it sounded great, even acapella.
You are an extremely pretty young lady too, it would seem you have it all together, Blue. You're talented, beautiful and with a lovely voice.
Don't be afraid to express yourself more, you certainly have what it takes and I think you certainly could go far.

What I mean is that it keeps someone from being all arrogant and 'puffed-up'. You come across as a very charming, sweet young lady and even your poetry reflects that. Believe me, as popular as your poetry is, and from reading the comments on your work, you are extremely talented and are a diamond in the rough, just waiting to be discovered. To answer your second question, yes I am into graphic art, I use a CAD rendering program called DAZ Studio Pro to create and render the images for the chapters in my books. It takes a lot of time, though, so I don't get a chance to render a picture for each chapter, but I try. Many times the images I create are really quickly put together, and as a result, don't look as professional as I would like if I had more time to work on them. My goal is to illustrate through 3D rendering, each chapter of all my books and poems.
