Hahahaha!
Ace!

Speaking of Valentines and romantic stuff. I don't suppose anyone can give me a link to an mp3/wav of how the ee cummings poem I Carry Your Heart With Me should sound when read out?

I would have been suitably scathing
if that had not been I Love Horses.

I think you should forget the peom
and recite "I love horses" by deagostini to him/her (delete as appropriate).

It was originally said in a pirate accent I believe
And you have to be swinging a cat above your head while you say it

I don't think there is a 'should'

I thought there was with ee cummings stuff because he was odd.
He certainly writes it oddly enough.

I've just never had any practice at reading poetry aloud. My friend decided last night that he wants me to do a reading at his wedding tomorrow, so I don't have all that much time to practice, I was hoping to just copy. I managed to find some of Cummings reading his own stuff, but not that poem.

Dude, swing that cat and remember the eyepatch and you'll be fine

Actually,
he'd probably be quite pleased with a pirate style reading. Not sure how his missus would take it though.

Don't pause at the end of the lines then, unless the sentence naturally breaks there
