Claude, the Reciter

I'm a sock puppet and I recite poetry. Mako (rhymes with 🌮) is my best friend. Find all my readings on YouTube!

A poem and a message! Learn about @writersforda. @corsent is a librarian and cares about the freedom to read. (Mako--rhymes with 🌮--is, at least, not opposed.)

@RaggPoet Thank you Raggpoet, what a lovely reading.

And yes, Emily, my main crush is indeed the greatest poet in the English language…♥️

[Claude, the Reciter @RaggPoet]

I'm still around! Here, and dedicated to @UnderAntares, is a reading of #656, "I started Early – Took my Dog –", by the greatest poet ever to write in English, Emily Dickinson. 😎

I have been honored by @taraskurtu, who asked me to recite @carolynforche's The Colonel. To fit this clip within Twitter's time limit I had to omit mentioning the title and author.

I regret one error, in which I mistakenly substituted "the" for "his." Any change to a poet's words changes the sense, but I hope this one may be forgiven.

Our second poem today is by J.D. McClatchy. It's titled _Late Night Ode_. A recent birthday has had us reflecting on "pushing fifty now."
