Poetry Everywhere

I listened to and watched poems being read on Poetry Everywhere. I thought the site was

I listened/watched Emily Dickinson's poem "I started Early - Took my Dog", which was read by Blair Brown and animated by Maria Vasilkovsky. It was really imaginative, the way I understood it, and described swimming in the sea and being swallowed up by it. I enjoyed the poem, and the animations that went with it. Here it is: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/poetryeverywhere/

I also listened to a clip of Robert Frost himself reading his poem "Stopping By the Woods on a Snowy Evening", which I've read before on my own, but Robert Frost read his poem so well. He sounded kind of like a narrator from an old album, but his voice was calm, sort of. It's hard to describe, but he read the poem well. Found: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/poetryeverywhere/frost.html

As well, I listened to Naomi Shihab Nye's poem "One Boy Told Me", which I listened to in PATH 1 and wanted to hear again. It was read by the author. I still love the line about a car being served in a cup. Link: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/poetryeverywhere/nye.html

I think Robert Frost's poem was best, simply because I liked his slow way of reading and his voice. I thought it fit his poem. I also think that the simple animations added to Emily Dickinson's poem, but it would take attention away from the poem itself if the animation was more complex.
