Welcome all, to the Imaginary Garden's Open Platform. Today, I invite you to listen to Ode to Nightingale by John Keats, one of the finest lyrical poets of English literary history. It is read to perfection by Benedict Cumberbatch (although, I am certain he would read a shopping list to perfection too).
Post post-modern poetry seem far removed from the work of the 19th Century Romantic poets, but their skill and knowledge of poetic devices remains a constant source of inspiration, and their work is nothing short of art.
Please join us, by sharing a poem of your choice, and taking the time to read and comment on the work of others. It should be noted that the Tuesday Platform is open until midday on Thursday, so 'late' entries are welcome, as are returning readers.

Hello, friends. I returned home late this evening after a parent-teacher meeting, so will only be able to read and comment tomorrow.
I join a little late and will try to read a little before heading to bed.
Always happy when I find my way into the garden! Thank you for leaving the gate open.

All behind like the cow's tail, I finally posted something yesterday, but forgot to leave a comment! Sorry! Now today, I've gone even further back into Toadland, and written for Sunday's bout-rimés challenge. What kind of ninny am I? :-)
