Wel­come Lis­ten­ers! ☕
Lis­ten­ers, wel­come to your one stop sto­ry­telling Pod­cast shop. We’re I’ll be shar­ing with you some­thing dif­fer­ent. I’ve man­aged to locate an old Eng­lish set of poems by Alfred Noyes – whose last name looks like his fam­i­ly couldn’t quite decide on what their last name would be…so they set­tled for Noyes, spelt No, and yes.

Alfred was wide­ly known to writ­ing major vers­es under the “Torch Bear­er” tril­o­gy, bring­ing you vers­es from Watch­ers of the Sky, The Book of Earth, and The Last Voy­age. Well I’m been able to get my hands on a clas­sic, one of his FIRST ever sets of vers­es titled The Flower of Old Japan. Now for some of my Poems that I read out, I don’t include music, and this is one of them,

I find it helps peo­ple focus of the sto­ry, and in this case, will help build a cadence with­in the verse. Alfred’s vers­es def­i­nite­ly have a rhythm, and you’ll hear it in todays’ nar­ra­tion, with a cou­ple of breaks and paus­es to derail the com­mon verse cadence. This episode is a two parter with the next part com­ing in on Fri­day – the sto­ry­line here is, adven­tur­ing, hunt­ing, and finding…Japan itself, and the crea­tures and spir­its they encounter on their trav­els there. I hope you real­ly enjoy this one mates.
