Hobbo's Poems
A quirky look at life from a Yorkshire poet and his dog's perspective
I can’t cross this road, to live big… — A Prolific Potpourri…
A slam by yours truly of three poems by the incredible poet Hobbo Copyright 2021
I can’t cross this road, to live big… — A Prolific Potpourri…
This is a reposting of a post by Matt Snyder who has a blog A Prolific Potpourri; at least I think it is, but if you have been following us for any length of time then you know how bad we are with technology. Matt commented that some of my poems needed slamming. Now, I thought that he was being super-critical, but it turns out that it’s a form of performance poetry. After I explained to Matt that I never record stuff because I think my Yorkshire accent would be off-putting, he kindly offered to slam some of my poems.
He put together three of my shorter poems into this verbal offering. I think it’s pretty cool and I’m very pleased with it. Thanks Matt! I would love to know what you think.

👍 I hate losing them. It’s the worst thing. I don’t think there’ll be another, if only for that reason. 😢

I know. That’s why I haven’t brought another dog home. I was inconsolable when I said goodbye to Molly. I helped her (at 10-years old) through deafness, and then a few years later blindness. She had a massive stroke one afternoon, and the vet agreed that Molly had been through enough. But it’s true that even after they pass on, you continue to love them to bits.

Not necessarily. You’ve been getting on without so far. I wanted to send a private message. Not a big deal. Never mind.

Wow! That’s so cool to have them read like that! My own voice gets boring in my ears and I didn’t hear the same rhythms that Matt heard. It’s very cool. What a great partnership!
