It only goes five seconds for me (with no sound ) and then freezes. :-\

Maybe if I reboot my browser... it's been a little sluggish.

Gosh thanks, you all, for checking it out! Susan E., it is VERY true:

"Children can inspire us to new heights."

I like that!

Gerald, you know, Miss J's weapon is her screech or squeal...so for sure, HERS cannot be caught in black and white!

Jennifer, what a neat thing to do on video! I'm so glad it finally played for me (my browser needed to run updates). It would be great if you could post a printed version of this, as well. I wasn't sure of some of the words and I'd really like to be able to read along with your voice.

The poem really made me think. I do the very same thing you speak about, consuming myself with documenting everything in photographs and then feeling like I missed the very event for the effort. :-\

Wow, that took a lot of guts to bare your soul to everyone in the room (and to us). Congratulations!

Nancy, that is what poetry IS, although it varies poet to poet, style to style--I am by no means a SLAM poet, although I admire their ability to memorize. Thanks!
