A reading of a hushed poem about the wind: “Susurro” written by William Sharp

#poem #poetryreading #motivationmonday #lawrenceville #whisper #lawrenceville #asmr #asmrreading #asmrvideo #susurro #williamsharp BREATH o’ the grass, Ripple of wandering wind, Murmur of tremulous leaves: A moonbeam moving white Like a ghost across the plain: A shadow on the road; And high up, high, From the cypress-bough A long sweet melancholy note. Silence. And the topmost spray Of the cypress-bough is still As a wavelet in a pool; The road lies duskily bare: The plain is a misty gloom: Still are the […]

I’ll never be a lap dog, licking dirty feet, A sleek dog, a meek dog, cringing for […]

A reading of a haunting poem about living under the dome: “World-Strangeness” written by William Watson

#poem #poetryreading #strange #strangeworld #motivationmonday #asmr #asmrreading #asmrvideo #worldstrangeness #williamwatson STRANGE the world about me lies, Never yet familiar grown — Still disturbs me with surprise, Haunts me like a face half known. In this house with starry dome, Floored with gemlike plains and seas, Shall I never feel at home, Never wholly be at ease? On from room to room I stray, Yet my host can ne’er espy, And I know not to this day Whether guest or captive […]
