Sketch Poetry
Poetry read in a fitting setting, by teacher and poet of no great renown: Joe Riley.
Great poems from a range of eras read aloud in a place that befits them. No lectures, not too many long words or academic pretence; a chance to sketch out how a poem reaches your heart.

Sketch Poetry
A Poison Tree-William Blake 🍏
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
'I was angry with my friend;
I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
I was angry with my foe:
I told it not, my wrath did grow...'
Joe reflects on the emotion of anger, and details his thought process around managing it. He takes a walk under an apple tree while the rain trickles down onto the sunburned earth.
