There are books that are purported to be prose. In reality, they are poems in a very long form. It would be good if I could remember one or more of them right now to use as an example but with my memory I cannot remember them now. Fortunately, I have other poem sources that are in email archives, on YouTube favorites, and a new source of poems. Yes, I do have the ability to recall all of them. I would like to share them. We get lots of poems here on One Typed Pages, I would like to share these as a thank you to all of you who have shared your poems here.
On YouTube search for “Ours Poetica” it has been a varied group of poets sharing their own and their favorite pieces. They have been somewhat sporadic of late but they seem to be back recently.
Poem of the Day, from the Poetry Foundation, is a daily email usually at night to start your day with a poem. They seem to rotate through people and select the poems ad the variety is very wide.
Also in the daily email set is Poem-a-Day which is very similar to Poem of the Day. They always deliver different poems so…have a go at these guys, You can find them at poets.org online.
Austin Kleon a once a week email list writer this week included #4 in his list of things that may be of interest. He is currently halfway through some humongous book from Iain McGilchrist. While poking around he discovered his (McGilchrist) daily poem reading. I listed to the first and then scrolled down through the list. It is not doom scrolling it is enjoyable. Anyway, as I – was scrolling down to fin the end of the list I quit in the 70s somewhere. There are plenty of poems to listen to there. Search for him by name.
Hopefully, you will enjoy one or more of these poem places online.
