Talking about Brontë poems I enjoy listening to poems uploaded by RadioTheatreGroup and whilst the one in the link below is a sad poem it does convey the great feeling of loss that Charlotte Brontë had following the death of her sister Anne in May 1849. She had lost her brother Branwell in September 1848 followed by the death of her sister Emily three months later. Here is the poem "On the Death of Anne Brontë" recited by Giga Gray and uploaded by the Radio Theatre Group.

Dan, thank you for your lovely comments and encouragement on my videos and Bruce thank you too. :)

Dan, it's really sweet of you to say that. One of the most satisfying things is when someone says that they are studying a poem in class and a reading has helped them with that.

I'm on a bit of a mission at the moment with the poems, especially the Brontë poems. As you know the featured video on my channel is this Emily Brontë poem set to music and sung by Janet Jones who is a friend of mine. Janet has a wealth of unpublished poems some by herself and some by others. She is planning to write her autobiography but also the unpublished poems will eventually be used on her website and Facebook page where you will see photos of her taken in Haworth many years ago in her bonnet etc. Only last week she suggested to me that we both go to Haworth and dress up like that and have photos taken .... but I declined .... lol.
I will be going up to Haworth though to take photos there which, if they are any good, will be used on Janet's Facebook page and also in my own videos for YouTube.

I have been looking at Emily Dickinson poems too. She has written some wonderful poems so it will be difficult to decide which poem to start with. Do you have a favourite?
