Last night I was up very late preparing artwork to deliver to a gallery I exhibit in. It was quite late when I went to bed, and much to my surprise there were a few birds in the wee hours of the dark morning that were out there calling to each other. A call I wasn't familiar with, I must have eventually fallen off to sleep from their lullaby.michelle koganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16409095111952431780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-72149157352165324422017-04-09T09:22:16.561-06:002017-04-09T09:22:16.561-06:00I think you're right, Carol, and one I shared ...I think you're right, Carol, and one I shared today may be for the spring gathering, too.

I wish I were writing poetry this month, as I find it soothing and centering. Instead, I am delving deeply into my YA novel. My brain is in overload, overwhelm, overstimulation land. Love it. Hate it. Embracing the duality of it. :-) If only I can FINISH it! :-)Brenda at FriendlyFairyTaleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13368709489341876324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-51558846174391128372017-04-08T18:45:19.601-06:002017-04-08T18:45:19.601-06:00I like the simplicity in this - in rhythm, word, a...I like the simplicity in this - in rhythm, word, and tone.

Here's a lullaby call for submissions: <br /><br />Flock<br />http://flocklit.com<br /><br />Flock literary journal is teaming up with EAT Audio Magazine to release a digital album of lullabies. We are looking for new lullabies, experimental lullabies, spoken word, percussion, etc – any audio project with a lullaby spirit. Traditional lullabies and revisions to traditional lullabies are also welcome, so long as the submitter shows that the original is in the public domain.<br /><br />Artists should submit no more than 1 lullaby. Please include a document or cover letter containing any lyrics. For non-English language lyrics, please include words in the original language as well as translated into English. We will consider audio up to 7 minutes in length, though expect most accepted pieces will fall in the 3-4 minute range. Audio should be submitted in Mp3 format, and artists should have a WAV file on hand in case the submission is accepted.<br />--<br />Tabathahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14367572663591077922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-20720528587891474282017-04-08T11:10:44.569-06:002017-04-08T11:10:44.569-06:00This little thing is so lovely and comforting, it ...This little thing is so lovely and comforting, it becomes big!
