"Is it lack of imagination that makes us go out and visit imagined places?"

And please ignore the rude disturbed little fellow who said "Epic Fail." It may be that he needs some training, but I more than half suspect that he is too far gone to help. Also, while kinder, I disagree with WaleedRahman; I like the way the settings, sounds and voices bring aspects of the poem alive that I might not have heard at first in a quieter reading. I haven't explored your channel, but I hope you are still sharing poetry. You brought some joy to my morning.

What a creative idea for a reading, I love it!

nice !!!

[WaleedRahman]

Wonderful poem as read in Voices and Visions. Here, there is too much going on to concentrate on the words. The poem is still sublime.
