Many grateful thanks to Elle for this activity! In her words: "In 'real life', I don't know anyone who reads or writes poetry. So I never hear poetry. It isn't sounds, it is words on a page. I wanted to change that. I wanted to hear what Cinn 's poems sounded like...not the way I interpreted them, but the way she meant them to be heard. I wanted to hear Fi 's poems read the way she intended them to sound, accent and all. And so, this forum was created." I'm honored to finally bring this back. Let's hear you!!

Poems will be listed by poet, and accompanied by a link to the WDC item so you can read the poem while you listen to it.



To submit a poem, simply post in the forum below with a link to the recording (eg. a Youtube video) and a link to the item on WDC. Poems must be your own work, and must be in your WDC portfolio as a book entry or static item.

For technical advice on how to create a video with a still image (instead of live footage of your face) please try reading "Some help"   and "Re: Re: Some help"  .

You will receive a community merit badge for your first poetry submission, and our exclusive MB for every ten thereafter (as of June 2026; I can't go back and re-award past submissions, unfortunately).
