Real poems, sexy readers, and your Hallmark invented holiday plans

Not a poet? Sound like Gilbert Godfried? Send your love (though I don’t know how you have one if either or both of the preceding are true) a real poem by a real author read by someone with a sexy voice… Like Alan Rickman or Judi Dench… Droooool … Now THIS is what makes the internet worthwhile.

Sample of list:

How do I love thee?

By Elizabeth Barrett Browning, read by Judi Dench

Sonnet 18

By William Shakespeare, read by Ian McKellen

She walks in beauty

By Lord Byron, read by Jude Law

Remember

By Christina Rossetti, read by Rosamund Pike

Upon Julia’s clothes

By Robert Herrick, read by Alan Rickman

Love not me for comely grace …

By John Wilby, read by James Earl Jones

Fuckin’ Vader reading a Wilby. Niiiiiiice. I hope he ends it with, “Who’s your daddy?”

    Unfortunately the poems can only be sent to residents of the UK; it only works if your mobile number starts with “07″. I’ve contacted the Poetry Archive to see if it’s possible to send these bits of awesomeness to people overseas; I’ll post their response when I get it.

  2. Mel says:

    Update: you can send them outside the UK, but you’ll need a PayPal account and the poems cost £3 each. Email for instructions.
