Very stylish with the scarf!

It's true. There's no sound!

Billy Collins is one of my favourite poets!

I loved "Puzzled" and would have never found it without you. Thank you!

No sound

I write poems. I'd like you to read my poems. I'm serious. I've written some bangers. I am not an MFA. I've lived. I've had to be my own lover, as I loved Mother. No one should have loved me like I do Love, so I Love and there is no other.

I don't know how I found you, but I'm glad I did. Where are you?

Welcome back Jim!

It's wonderful to be introduced to so many new poets and enjoy their work.

Thank you for keeping poetry alive in our modern age!

Love this! Thank you for the great research.

This is great!

I found your channel not too long ago, but your videos have such a calm energy that makes me want to watch all of it! Hope you have a nice day :)

Happy Easter, Jim!!🐰🥚🥁

Thank you for sharing these lovely poems Jim!

Colen Sweeten was my grandfather. I just stumbled upon your channel and it was really nice hearing someone else read his words after so long. Thanks for what you do.

Thanks for reading Immortal Autumn. I was helping my daughter memorize this for school and hearing your phrasing really helped

I never knew this was a subgenre of poetry. Thanks for introducing these works to us!

Thank you for this. Cowboy poetry is very interesting to me. Much sadness, much beauty.

Thank you, Jim! Poetry is a forgotten art!

i love this

Thank you Jim you are the light in the world that we need

Thank you, Jim, for these timely and hilarious poems! I really got a kick out of them.

❤🎄

Really beautiful imagery and rhythm. As you say, very rich! Wonderful poems. I hope more people will discover them.

Good morning Jim from Hong Kong. It really is the right time for war poems as we go through yet another war right after the last war and right after the last last war. You are so very right in identifying the media as a culprit in all of this, along with the powerful people who seem to control these wars. Thank you for your thoughtful ideas.

What a wonderful topic for poems! It makes me think of Pangor Ban, the 9th century Irish poem about a monk's white cat.

👍👍Keep it up!

very good poems! thank you morning jim.

I love the poems you highlight on your shows, particularly Ms. Piercy's The Cat's Song. Thank you for bringing poetry to a wider audience.

Where I am from, a desert: A scrubland, there is no other season other than death unless you put foreign dirt, foreign plants and water artificially everyday, and even then plants don't grow orange, red and fall. Hearing of autumn through gathering leaves has given me a nice experience albeit poetic of what it feels autumn in the north hemisphere. Thank you.

Wonderful. Deeply perceptive, beautiful imagery. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you, sir. I'm grateful for your reading and the kind words about my rhymes. And I'm flattered to be in the company Donne and Marsalis, even for 15 minutes. Lovely painting, too.

My favourite poem from this video was the one of Wynton Marsalis. I enjoyed the descriptive splashes of musical style and notes to words. Thank you for sharing it - it's wonderful to come across new things to enjoy!

Jim, I liked this a lot. A good poet. Thanks and blessings.

Thanks, Jim, for again reading my work. I'm glad you like both of those poems! Blessings.

You're doing amazing job, Sir!
