I made an older video for the poem and posted it to YouTube two years ago. Last week I decided I really didn&#8217;t care for the old version, so I made that video with its 200 views private, and produced a new one.<\/p>\n<p>For those reading who like to document process, first I edited the poem a little based on how my aesthetics have changed since I wrote the poem in 2006, nothing major, and then I went in search of royalty-free music, pictures, and video clips. I became a member of Dreamstimes.com for still shots and VideoBlocks.com for video, but since then I&#8217;ve discovered Neo&#8217;s Clip Archive of free video footage.<\/p>\n<p>Producing poetry videos once in a while fulfills me in some way. I do it knowing that my poetry videos don&#8217;t draw a slew of hits (with the exception of  <a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/EdBGNgjoeis\">Misery<\/a>  which did better than average for original poetry). The video for<em> &#8220;Blackbird&#8217;s Groove&#8221; <\/em>comes on the heels of the <a href=\" http:\/\/bigsole.blogspot.com\/2014\/09\/break-up-notes-recovery-edition.html\">Break Up Notes Recovery<\/a> video which I produced last week. At the end of August I also produced a video of another poet&#8217;s work,<em> &#8220;An Angel for New Orleans,&#8221;<\/em> for the 9th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.<\/p>\n<p>You may read the text for<em> &#8220;Stuck in a Black Bird&#8217;s Groove&#8221; <\/em>at my personal website <a href=\"http:\/\/WritingJunkie.net\/poems\">WritingJunkie.net\/poems<\/a>.<\/strong> <strong>&#038; view me at<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/writingjunkie.net\/info \">writingjunkie.net\/info <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<strong><strong><a href=\"mailto:editor@artvilla.com\">editor@artvilla.com<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:robin@artvilla.com\">robin@artvilla.com<\/a><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<strong><\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/PoetryLifeTimes\" target=\"_blank\">www.facebook.com\/PoetryLifeTimes<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Artvilla.com\" target=\"_blank\">www.facebook.com\/Artvilla.com<\/a><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-socializer wpsr-share-icons\" data-lg-action=\"show\" data-sm-action=\"show\" data-sm-width=\"768\"><h3>Share and Enjoy !<\/h3><div class=\"wpsr-si-inner\"><div class=\"wpsr-counter wpsrc-sz-40px\" style=\"color:#000\"><span class=\"scount\" data-wpsrs=\"\" data-wpsrs-svcs=\"pinterest,print,pdf,twitter\"><i class=\"fa fa-share-alt\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><small class=\"stext\">Shares<\/small><\/div><div class=\"socializer sr-popup sr-count-1 sr-40px sr-pad\"><span class=\"sr-pinterest\"><a data-pin-custom=\"true\" data-id=\"pinterest\" style=\"color:#ffffff;\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=&amp;media=&amp;description=\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Submit this to Pinterest\"><i class=\"fab fa-pinterest\"><\/i><span class=\"ctext\" data-wpsrs=\"\" data-wpsrs-svcs=\"pinterest\"><\/span><\/a><\/span>\n<span class=\"sr-print\"><a data-id=\"print\" style=\"color:#ffffff;\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.printfriendly.com\/print?url=\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Print this article \"><i class=\"fa fa-print\"><\/i><\/a><\/span>\n<span class=\"sr-pdf\"><a data-id=\"pdf\" style=\"color:#ffffff;\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.printfriendly.com\/print?url=\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Convert to PDF\"><i class=\"fa fa-file-pdf\"><\/i><\/a><\/span>\n<span class=\"sr-twitter\"><a data-id=\"twitter\" style=\"color:#ffffff;\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=%20-%20%20\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Tweet this !\"><i class=\"fab fa-twitter\"><\/i><\/a><\/span>\n<span class=\"sr-share-menu\"><a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"More share links\" style=\"color:#ffffff;\" data-metadata=\"{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;excerpt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;image&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;short-url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;rss-url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.artvilla.com\\\/plt\\\/feed\\\/&quot;,&quot;comments-section&quot;:&quot;comments&quot;,&quot;raw-url&quot;:null,&quot;twitter-username&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;fb-app-id&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;fb-app-secret&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\"><i class=\"fa fa-plus\"><\/i><\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wp-socializer wpsr-share-icons\" data-lg-action=\"show\" data-sm-action=\"show\" data-sm-width=\"768\"><div class=\"wpsr-si-inner\"><div class=\"socializer sr-popup sr-32px sr-pad\"><span class=\"sr-facebook\"><a data-id=\"facebook\" style=\"background-color:#1e73be;color:#8224e3;\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/share.php?u=\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share this on Facebook\"><i class=\"fab fa-facebook-f\"><\/i><\/a><\/span>\n<span class=\"sr-share-menu\"><a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"More share links\" style=\"background-color:#1e73be;color:#8224e3;\" data-metadata=\"{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;excerpt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;image&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;short-url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;rss-url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.artvilla.com\\\/plt\\\/feed\\\/&quot;,&quot;comments-section&quot;:&quot;comments&quot;,&quot;raw-url&quot;:null,&quot;twitter-username&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;fb-app-id&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;fb-app-secret&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\"><i class=\"fa fa-plus\"><\/i><\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; The video for &#8220;Stuck in a Black Bird&#8217;s Groove&#8221; is a remix.
