Dramatic Poetry Recitation
These are the poems that I recite as part of the program. (The above picture is before I grew my long beard.)
I can tailor a program to your needs, lasting from a few minutes to a couple of hours.
I began memorizing poems when I was quite young and have continued learning more through the years.
Many of the poems are quite dramatic and some include different character voices.
The poems encompass a fairly broad subject range and include poems for children, humorous poems, love poems, inspirational and narrative poems, as well as a few dramatic speeches.
