I did the post last night talking about the coming of fall, and of course I went back in my blog and read This post....I remember hearing that poem read almost like it was yesterday...more the quality of the voice. So, I got to wondering if I could find it on you tube or some such place being read out loud.
Lo, and behold! Listen to what I found! I could not believe it. It is not read as I heard it read the first time...and it is quoted in a different way. But grab your cup of coffee, or your tea, or Coke or whatever you are drinking....sit back and listen....and I do enjoy watching it. He has got a sort of gravelly voice I think so have to listen carefully...
I had sort of planned on going ahead and putting the above video on, but sent it first to my BFF to get her reaction, and then had Roger listen to it...got basically the same reaction from both. It confirmed for me that it was blog-worthy....
and I took these photos just today to go along with it.
I only hope you enjoy the video half as much as we did.
Hi Rose, That is GREAT... I have read that poem many times --and love it. But--I've never heard it read with the dialect he uses. I enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteAs hot as it was here today, I truly am ready for the FROST to be on the PUNKIN here... ha
Hugs,
Betsy
I enjoyed it very much Rose!
ReplyDeleteGreat video, Rose! He recites that poem so well!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Rose. He recites the poem very, very well.
ReplyDeleteThe frost is still a while a way I think. It's hot and muggy here. I have been at a conference for 3 days and only out for a few minutes at a time. But now that I am home I feel like I'm melting. :)
Interesting to hear it read. Glad you posted it!
ReplyDeleteThat is an awesome poem Rose!
