Spring poetry and an Ode to the Cat - e.e.cummings, Pablo Neruda (& Brother Ginger)

An episode of almost 10 mins on poetry for Spring (although before the intro there's a mention of November :)).
 
This was recorded in late April but have only just had time to create it and publish. I had a bit of a fluey/cold when recording this!

Initially this was only going to be poems by e.e.cummings but then the big ginger neighbourhood cat Brother G inspired me to read Neruda's wonderful 'Ode to the Cat'... and he sat and listened all the while:) x

• Featuring mewing from Brother G too, from about 2 mins 20 in :) x

The episode is a reading of five poems  - the first four short ones by e.e.cummings and the last, longer one by Pablo Neruda.

• 'Who are you, little i' by e.e cummings
• 'Spring is like a perhaps hand '- by e.e.c
• 'In Just Spring' by e.e.c
• 'In Spring Comes' by e.e.c
• 'Ode to the Cat' by Pablo Neruda
