In Praise of "Ride On"

Summary:

This is a poem that I posted in a comment to the excellent fiction Ride On by Silvergirl with an addendum regarding the podfic version. I've reproduced it here in an attempt to keep all my poetry in one place.

While this is not technically a fandom work I've tagged it that way in the hopes that readers will find their way over to the fiction and/or the podfic.

Work Text:

*As contained in the comment to the work*

I am no poet nor skilled enough,
To heap effusive praise upon your head,
And laud this as it deserves.
The accolades as found herein,
Better express my awe and delight,
And so I second each and every one.
To the mountain of kudos I add one more,
Hoping that others will find this gem,
And lose themselves in the story.
When words bear more weight that simple prose,
As is my wont I'll bookmark,
And praise it there as well.
May your writing endeavors be fruitful,
The words continue to flow,
And inspiration long endure

*Addendum: A comment on The Podfic Version*

What can I say of Podfixx's elocution?
How to sing the praises for such work?
She who trips words lightly off the tongue,
With precise delivery, enunciation and clarity of voice,
Endows the tale with more complexity and weight,
And leaves echoes long after the sounds have faded.
I wish for you equipment that does not fail,
A dearth of editing snafus,
And a never failing voice.
