This made me win in my contest ❤
That was an amazing poem but J'Kobe's reading brought life and imagery to it. He is very talented and his smooth voice made it sing.
Awesome poem reciting, but I teared up just now hearing it because within the last few days, my former high-school English teacher passed away and I was mentally brought back to a time when my class back then were tasked with the entire class reciting the poem for that class to have a pizza party as kind of an incentive, I guess. I sure will miss that teacher, because she was a cool lady.
@Georgia Head Thank you for your kind words. I appreciate it.
I'm sorry to hear about her. English teachers usually are the most passionate with their students. But yeah, I'm sure she would have loved to know that you remember her by this beautiful poem.
What a beautiful, resonant voice you have and how well you recited the poem.
Love how well & emotional he was while presenting this poem.
The best I have ever heard of this poem.
Bravo
perfect.. and awesome I wandered lonely as a cloud By William Wordsworth 💕💕💕🥰🥰
Brilliant. The best rendition I've ever heard. Congratulations J'Kobe. You captured the mood of the poem deliciously.
He recited the poem in a clear, resonant voice.
But fluctuated too much in rhythm
I was just thinking of Grasmere Gingerbread and found this. Thank you for introducing me to professional poetry, felt like I was on the hills again.
Wordsworth was a gentle sonnet. This boy is a pompoms n grandeur. Hopefully he lightens w age.
I love this voice ❤❤❤❤
I always imagined this poem as ever raising in pitch with every line and with a climatic if not orgasmic last line; his rendition is good of course but it’s anticlimactic, the opposite of how I always read it in my mind
Awesome recitation, thank u
Nice job man. I am reciting this tomorrow.
Awesome smile

I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud
BY WILLIAM WORDSWORTH
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed-and gazed-but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
Very nicely read and beautifully paced. Being English I find many American accents to be grating and harsh but not this guys accent.
wowzers
Can this be an example of oral (poetry) interpretation?

Yeah, it's a bit indulgent, but he's a young kid - and he does have the voice for it. He'll get it.
Just read the damn poem. It's not a film audition. No acting required. Only an American can ruin a beautiful work. Hope you won an Oscar at least. Jeez!
