Senator William Wordsworth a human fractal, forever fractaling. Like our love Sir William Shakespeare, The Greats all of them forever melting into holograms in the atmosphere in the atom being. Thank you Mr. Wood.
Sincerely, Geraldine

A marvellous reading, filled with feeling and energy. An old man thanks you from afar young friend.

[@ArthurLWood]

Thank you very much, my friend. So pleased you enjoyed the reading. I will try to record more of The Prelude soon.
My next project (after I finish Tennyson’s In Memoriam) will be Milton’s Paradise Lost.

Well done. Lovely reading. Thank you.

Please forgive me for pointing this out but there is no indefinite article in the first line. However, having said that, you did read it all extremely well. Thank you for giving us this fine oration.

Brilliant! You should do the full Prelude! This is the best recording I have heard.

Someone please fill me in on where the beef is in this kind of rhyme adverse stuff. Rhyme or prose, which one will it be?
A rose by any other name...
Will always a rose remain
Verse adverse to rhyme
And prose are the same.
There's nothing above
Verse hand in glove
with rhyme,- no rhyme is prose,
Emperor's New Plothes.

[@mikedaniels3009]

Mercy.
Turkey talk time:
Where's the rhyme?
Poems' lines crave rhymes
Like bells talk to chimes,
& chimes back to bells...
No rhyme rings deathknells.
This "blank" verse gobbins
S'muffins void of rais'ns,
Plain empty wineskins
Playin' Halloween pumpkins.
