I'm so sorry for messing it up last time. I hope it's okay now. Please let me know if there's still some mistake.

It's not messing up! It's a learning experience

Especially the beginning silence, I think, is important, because my mind goes "is something wrong" when the recording is not starting when expected to. But now all is great and the recording is marked PL OK in the Magic Window! Thank you for your timely fix!

Thank you, Erin! I appreciate your kind words!

And thank you for your three poems, which are now marked PL OK in the Magic Window!

Perhaps it is more appropriate for December, but up to you.

Hello Rapunzelina,

My name is Tristan Mazurek, and I wanted to help contribute to the Short Poetry collection. I've been wanting to do voiceover work for years, and reading poetry seems like a really good way to dip my toes into the water. I hope I haven't forgotten anything in this submission!

Could I read these three? I`ve checked many times and I`m very sure that they're in the public domain and not on Librivox yet but could someone else confirm this? Thank you.

Thank you, Ike!

Just to clarify, as we have included Ozymandias by Horace Smith in this month's collection, this poem is your second one
