Wonderful reading, Susan. It's what I always pictured I would do someday, someday.  You have a great reading voice, liked the accent too, lassie!

Thanks lassies - Melissa & Corinne..

Somehow the reading was more intense in my head with the absolute perfect dialect --- but --- as opposed to surreal, i was a basket case with Real.  as in Real Player.  also, i canna tell a lie, i was out of practice for a long time... but the dialect is cumin' back to me!  (Better late than never).

Alan -

I turn off ZoneAlarm when I'm using Real Player.  I already learned my lesson.  It was a hard road to travel, but I got there.  hahahahahahaha

As far as Mr. Yeats, I love the link -- but am glad I didn't listen to it first!
I would've sworn he came from Scotland!!  Lead on MacDuff!  NOT.
I can't believe it was in Poets.org -- guess the Academy is going Worldwide.  'Bout time.

Thanks.
Susan

And live alone in the bee-loud glade

Damn Susan, you moved this on me.. lol I did want to comment on how well it was read.. Yet, your voice is what I imagined it to sound like.. Well, I was expecting a New Yorker accent.. *smile* Again, I enjoyed the reading but I was surprised that you took such liberty with the punctuation.. I suppose this is your creativeness.. Adding your own unique flavor to the masters recipe.. Well done, I enjoyed the taste..

glad you enjoyed.  maybe another idea lodged in here -- record a selection from a favorite poet..

i think he would have preferred just one maid tho', by the name of Maude.
