Greetings to all poets, wayfarers and friends. We are bidding farewell to January and nearing the month of February which is the border between winter and spring. And for those of you who are interested it's almost time for ... wait for it... Super Bowl Sunday! It will be the 52nd Super Bowl and the 48th modern-era National Football League championship game! Oh gosh this is so exciting!
I came across this wonderful assortment of poetry read by Benedict Cumberbatch and just couldn't resist sharing it with you guys. Poems such as "The Seven Ages Of Man" and "Kubla Khan" tend to send one deep into thought and gives much to ruminate about. Moreover, the dulcet and velvet tone of the reader is an added bonus.
If you have any thoughts to share, ideas you wish to release into the
wild or a world view to express, then you have come to the right place.
Please share a poem of your choice and enjoy the company of your fellow
scribes. We look forward to reading you and hope you have a wonderful
day ahead.
Thanks for today's platform Sanaa

ReplyDeleteHi Sanaa, thanks you for sharing this video...it's such a gem!
ReplyDeleteAh, the wonderful Benedict! I consider him the greatest male actor of his generation. But even he mispronounces some words here, which in one case makes the metre wrong! I think poets read poetry better than actors do, even if our voices are not so beautifully trained.
ReplyDelete@Vivian; Thank you so much, so glad you enjoyed it!💞
ReplyDelete@Rosemary; Yes no doubt Poets read poetry way better than actors do!💞 I am off to read you now!💞
I'm not one to resist the charms of Benedict! Thanks, Sanaa.
