May Day California

"The End" Jim Morrison Slow read of poem during opening instrumental then listen and enjoy the great poet Jim Morrison in his song.

We have closed out April and welcomed May.

The rain did not come 

The sun blazed on

Early summer heat

Conserve water 

Hopes of saving our planet.

Conserve and stay cool 

Work together

Life goes on 

Go out and enjoy

Since this heat water no more

Ha! thought you did not like music with your poetry reading Willard? Lol
A salutary write which in its parched tones expresses the sentiments well. The music is haunting and appropriate.

[Willard Wells]

This was the one I mentioned yesterday that I had done. I have only done two with music and this one seemed to fit the best. And haunting is the term I would use also. Thanks for reading and commenting.

The message in this poem is quite correct; this planet is something that needs to be preserved. Unfortunately, for every person that understands this there is a person who doesn't understand it. This was a very enjoyable read. Great job :)

[Willard Wells]

Thank you for taking time to read my work. Most of my writing appears to be more in real time, but I am not sure since I am not always sure that I am really at the wheel. hahaha

Save water, Drink more Beer!

[Willard Wells]

Conservation
Learning of tomorow and knowing it will come with demands

Conservation in everything ..... in nature .... in love .... in time
If only we learnt of the value of what we hold today ???

Conservation comes from a place of gratitude ..... Appreciation for all that is beautiful

Mr. Willard we have a beautiful work here of simplicity and pure love screaming out of your words

Love it

[Willard Wells]

Thank you for your taking time to read my work and your kind words.

Willard, I like this concise little write. if you want the whole video to show up, grab the embedded code choice when you right click. It should be the third option. Then you can past it her or up in the description box. If you post it there, you might want to add an extra space at the top of your poem. I personally like them under the description so we see it when we open the page.
Hope this help you get it going.
The dry heat. we are having a rare wet spring here in Texas...It must be why you are having such a dry one in Cali. It seems to happen that way. Hope you guys get some rain soon or it will be a bad fire season too.

[Willard Wells]

Thanks JC, I will work on the embedding. I kind of just want the music and not the video so I have to find another file too. Thanks for reading also. If I use the video I would lose the picture I am using.

[JayceeC]

put it down in the notes or see if you can embed from something like sound cloud.

[JayceeC]

hey did you try it..The description box is separate from the picture uploads.

[Willard Wells]

Go try seems to be working.

[AaronFreitas]

Some say California will eventually become so dry it will crumble away... not sure if that will ever happen but man if we don't get some water we are looking at an entirely different life in this state. Farming will slowly fade away which is a major source of income and provides so much food to the world. Good write!

[Willard Wells]

The "Doors" behind it was really fun. I think once I figure out how to add the track it will give a different dimension to it. Thanks for checking it out.

[Willard Wells]

Got the music video in it and I like it. hahaha

[AaronFreitas]

Sweet it fits perfect
