COMPLETE: Short Poetry Collection 024 - PO/kh
There are also a few here.
If there are enough people interested it certainly could be done. It just needs someone to coordinate it.

I'd be happy to BC it, giving it a Australian Works Collection 001 (poems, essays, short fiction, and short non-fiction works, etc.) to see how it goes, if people think it'd be worthwhile. Can set it up this evening. What say?

One of Longfellow's juvenile poems, I think:

Peter, Cori said she's happy to have this so I've scooted it over to the Longfellow collection.

Could I reserve a spot in this collection? I'd like to read A Sonnet of the Moon by Charles Best.

That would be cool. I'm doing Glugs of Gosh (slowly... and in an English accent) over in Solo Projects, so feel free to stick that in when it's done!asy wrote:Thanks for that Kristin!
Hey, has anyone noticed there's lots of Aussie poems coming through?
I wonder whether it'd be an idea to do a 'set' of Aussie poems, you know, Patterson, Mackellar, etc...?

No need to reserve a spot. Just post the poem when it's ready.katyleah wrote:Could I reserve a spot in this collection? I'd like to read A Sonnet of the Moon by Charles Best.

Hi,
I found this humorous poem when I was looking for a short story to read. It must have been written at least 100 years ago, but it sure is still applicable today.
Title: A Cry From The Consumer

I hope you get as much of a kick out of it as I did.

I know it's recently been done, but I missed out. So here is my version to add to the collection....
"Jabberwocky" - Lewis Carroll

Oooh Susan,
I LOVE Jabberwocky, will be eagerly waiting for you to do this one, can't wait to have a listen!
asy
EDIT: It was fantastic. So VERY different to how I do it! It's great how so many people read that one so very differently. I have an idea for my first project, maybe I'll do a set of different readings of Jaberwocky!? I need to reduce my list of 'to do' then I'll maybe do that! What do you think?
