Thank you for reading of these poems ... The world needs to hear more of the poems with heart , so we can begin to heal ourselfs with the magic they hold with in them ..
we have a word in Urdu for absolutely awesome things that brings you sudden and inexplicable joy, "zabardast!" that was the first word i said as i finished listening to this one.. :)
You’re here there’s nothing I fear and I know that my heart will go on we’ll stay forever this way you are SAFE in my heart and my heart will go on and on
I wish that I could get you to do a reading of some of my poems! You've got the perfect voice for reciting poems. Thank you for sharing your voice with us, your fans. Wonderful job on this one; as well as all the others you've recited on this channel. Wishing you & yours much peace and many blessings from the Sunshine State! 💙
@jacobwhitnall Well, not a sestina, but an unusual ballad form. The stanzas are in pairs, the first being in iambs, the second in anapests. I don't know of anything else like it.
Can you please explain the meaning of "the ham in a temperance hotel", especially "the ham" ? (an overacting actor or a piece of meat or neither?...) Thank you for your beautiful readings !
@junjinho1 The odd lines have three anapests and an extra unstressed syllable. The even lines have three anapests ending on a stressed syllable. But it's not that rigid. Count the syllables on your fingers - a syllable being the least amount you can utter and still make the poem sound intelligible.
Although I would rather here the original poets' voices in these clips I think your voice is well suited for reading poetry aloud (the only way it should be read). You are doing a service here, putting these up on youtube which has been inundated by hate and triteness. They say there's no glory in poetry, only achievement. You sir, have definitely achieved something here.

It has altered my life altogether... That is my truth about Love.

I love all your readings that i've come across--and i must say, this one is definitely a stand out. Well done.
I love this one!
Your reading is really amazing, thank you!
I love that this poem was rhymin'
Snapped my fingers to the rythmic timin'
Melancholly at the ending above
Never told us the truth about love....T:)
Loved it. Thank you. Beautiful voice,

my academic professor hates poetry; he constantly bashes it, exclaiming "poetry is written for thr person and not the audience"
