we have a word in Urdu for absolutely awesome things that brings you sudden and inexplicable joy, "zabardast!"
that was the first word i said as i finished listening to this one.. :)
-
I love that this poem was rhymin'
Snapped my fingers to the rythmic timin'
Melancholly at the ending above
Never told us the truth about love....T:)

Can you please explain the meaning of "the ham in a temperance hotel", especially "the ham" ? (an overacting actor or a piece of meat or neither?...)
Thank you for your beautiful readings !

This is fab, well done

I love all your readings that i've come across--and i must say, this one is definitely a stand out. Well done.

@SpokenVerse Ah I see thanks. For some reason I imagined that it had some grand title.

is that a sestina?

@jacobwhitnall Well, not a sestina, but an unusual ballad form. The stanzas are in pairs, the first being in iambs, the second in anapests. I don't know of anything else like it.

@audiofile7 A saw is a musical instrument - but you knew that, right?

The repeated half rhyme of "love," and words ending in an "uff" sound, reminds me of a Dylan Thomas poem, addressed to his aunt (I can't remember the title) which he signs "lots of luff."

@MrHeslopian It's called "Letter to My Aunt"
