Emperor of Oranges

[lsalloom]

That was brilliant! I was searching for an example of this being read aloud and I couldn't have asked for better.

[xaouqinz]

wow, that is a brilliant poem.

[NerdsAreHumansToo]

that was cool.

[Marooth]

oh Jerry you are the best

[Castle03]

rawrr

[MadSaltanas]

You're really great...you have the same interests as me with, well, everything that I have heard of you like...parkour, poptarts, Rives, photography... hmm not really as comprehensive a list as I thought...but anyway, you're pretty damn cool Jerry! Aaaand that probably sounds a bit egocentric of me...hehe "You're so great! Why, you're like me!" Hah..oh dear... =)

[skylaarsays]

Oh, My, Lord.

I am completely captivated by your voice.

[RedVolly]

Great job, loved your reading of this poem! Would love to hear more! :D

[HelenaPenkul]

your voice is very good for readings.

and I liked the story

[jimbobjun]

Great video Jerry

I just became a Partner

That means that between St Ives and st just there are two partners!

[jerryhcooke]

haha, that probably means two in Cornwall full stop ;)

[BotheringTrees]

That was really good, Jerry. I've missed you.

[glitterandmoredoom]

That was lovely<3

The black and white suited it<3

[1993AliceCullen]

[finn030692]

[BarryAldridge]

Great poem Jerry.

I hope you can do a skating video again.

[Lizzehh]

that was lovely :)

can i request another skating video?

[MidWestMinster]

bravo!

[1musicrazy1]

this made me really happy

[neurapraxia]

Reminds me of the poem The Emperor of Ice-Cream by Wallace Stevens. Except they're absolutely, completely unrelated and the only similarity is the format of the title. ...Yeah.

[lefthandedlove]

yay! rives + jerry = best thing ever.

i requested this a few days ago...well, it was for some other rives poem, but nonetheless, i still enjoyed it. ^_^ you should do a rives reading every month.

[jerryhcooke]

Yeah, sorry - I just prefer this one to Glaucoma, it flows better :]

[lefthandedlove]

agreed.

another really good slam poet is george watsky, he's pretty amazing.

if you plan on checking him out, a few awesome poems of his that are up on youtube are "so many levels redux", and "carry the one", "lonely hearts club"..and you can watch a whole set of him at the cantab lounge. he's like a rives in the making. sort of. :D

[andrsdtz]

This realyl was lovely Jerry :o)

[NelliumTheFisherman]

that was a lovely poem

[kalaway]

Wow, that's a weird poem, lol!

I liked that part about halfway in between 4th of July and Cinco to Mayo.

[kkriSSStaa]

That was lovely! :)

[BethOnTop]

I love it when you do poetry because I could listen to you speak all day.

Rives is a legend.

<3

[musicislife00000]

Fantastic Jerry, I love all of Rives' work. :]

I think my favorites are Mockingbird and If I controlled the Internet

[musicislife00000]

oh, and question: Are you gonna be doing any blogtv shows sometime soon? Those are always a lot of fun.

[jackeyramone]

Best Thing Ever ✔

[melodyhellyeah]

I like it.

It's not a poem though. just a nice story

[jerryhcooke]

Well, Rives is a slam poet and he catagorizes this as a poem, so meh, I'd call it a poem - it follows a rhythm.
