Poetic ASMR's video: Poetic ASMR - Poems on Death Whispered poems with scratching sounds

Hi everybody 😌 I think I've been owing you a longer poetry video, so this is a compilation of six different poems on death with scratching sounds in the background. All these poems have different tones and cover different aspects of death. In future, I might do other compilation videos on different subjects (e.g. love, nature, childhood). 🕰 Timestamps 🕰 00:00 Intro 00:37 "Perhaps" by Vera Brittain 02:48 "Ode on the Death of a Favourite Cat Drowned in a Tub of Goldfishes" by Thomas Gray 05:57 "The Shadow on the Stone" by Thomas Hardy 08:10 "To the Young Who Want to Die" by Gwendolyn Brooks 10:26 "Resumé" by Dorothy Parker 11:11 "Requiescat" by Oscar Wilde Poem 1 is about Brittain's fiancé Roland who died in the First World War. I absolutely love this poem and how it encompasses the feeling of grief. © Vera Brittain, Verses of A V.A.D., 1918. You can buy the book here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Verses-V-Classic-Reprint/dp/1331322286 Poem 2 is a more lighthearted poem by Thomas Gray which was inspired by the actual death of Horace Walpole's cat. Poem 3 is about the death of Hardy's first wife, Emma. It's almost hauntingly beautiful, and I really can't fault the speaker for not wanting to turn around at the end and confirming his worst fears. Poem 4 is essentially a plea to all "the young who want to die" to simply wait until tomorrow, since there really isn't any rush. Death can always wait. This poem and its sentiment have kept me sane at times. © Gwendolyn Brooks, The Near-Johannesburg Boy and Other Poems, 1986. You can buy the book here: https://www.amazon.com/Near-Johannesburg-Boy-Other-Poems/dp/0883780550 Poem 5 lists various ways how one could kill oneself, only to come to the conclusion that considering how awful all the listed options are "you might as well live." It's short and sweet ... and true. © Dorothy Parker, The Portable Dorothy Parker, 1926.

This is one of my favourite poems of Wilde's. That's really everything you need to know. Hope you guys like my selection ☺️ P.S.: I've also uploaded unlisted videos of each of these poems. So, should any of the authors in this compilation get a separate playlist in future, these poems will also be added.
