On Reely’s Poetry Blog, we supplement the poems on our main website, Reely’s Poetry Page, to take a look at modern poets, topics relevant to classic poets, uses in popular culture and just generally try to enhance the poetry experience.

We try to find useful links to help student and always look for audio readings.

Here are some links to just a few of our audio poems on Reely’s Poetry Pages:

Another Reason Why I Don’t Keep A Gun In The House by Billy Collins - We love this one because we have 2 different interpretations - the Angry Neighbor and the Resigned Rabbi. Awesome readings by actor Jamie Renell.

The Boy Who Laughed at Santa Claus by Ogden Nash - a student recited Jabez Dawe’s sorry jack-in-the box tale in a very high pitch to imitate an elf. What we love most about it is the way her voice rises on the words “in school” (he never led his classes) in the second stanza.

Sir Walter Scott’s My Native Land. We love this poem and we love the Bullwinkle impression.
