It took just three and a bit minutes out of my sunday afternoon... what a wonderful and pensive interlude .. I guess life is packed to the gills with beautiful unspoken moments.. if we choose to see them as Whitman did x

[beccappp]

"I believe a leaf of grass is no less

than a journey-work of the stars"

This is an amazing poem. Your readings of Walt Whitman have proved doorways into his poetry for me. Thankyou, I am very grateful. Would love to hear your read more of "Songs of Myself", I did explore the link you provided on another Whitman reading - terrific site - James and Patrick both good readings but your voice entirely different again and adds a richness to the experience of listening and hearing the poem.

@TheBeautyEverywhere I mean "Song of Myself"

I'd have kissed Whitman ;-) And Ginsberg, later.

[Cassira455]

beautiful reading!

[unsailed]

i do notice a little slipping in between being the person telling the story and being the person reading the poem. only a little though. lovely reading.

[Quantumew]

I love this guys voice! ahhh he does "the lie" by Sir Walter Raleigh as well and yes it is scromptous

[Thoughtfulguy68]

You read in a quiet and decisive manner. I very often respond to your interpretations as if I'd never heard the piece before. You inspire me to search for my own voice when I read aloud. Thanks.

[zsparling]

I am not too partial to poetry but free verse.This has touched me profoundly.

Especially now,in this tender moment of my life.

This is a master piece.

and the narrating voice is an absolute pleasure to listen to.

Wherever you are Whitman,I choose to believe every word you have said.

[HanaBerlin]

Bravo!!! Bravo!!!

Beautiful Walt. Whenever I feel myself as insane as the world I open Leaves Of Grass at any page and within a couple of lines am well again.

[guydeersewer]

fantasitc voice. Is it at all possible to get a reading of Madness and Joy?

[FACEOFDO]

Great poem read as it was written.

Perfect delivery and being not a great fan of his,I find at last some ground.

Well done.

Bravo!!! I'd love to hear a few verses from Lilacs.

[tessler6868]

like it. i think "leaves" -- and whitman -- should be dusted off again. he speaks of his troubled times to ours.

[jobedied]

Excellent

[zombiekiller60]

I don't think I've ever heard Whitman sound better! Thanks.

[mnilandcom]

very nice

[rosasparx]

this is wonderful

[Ahavati1]

All this from a child's simple handful of grass.

Leaves of Grass; even the title rustles the imagination to conjure thought.
