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.

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