    I am a lifelong insomniac and have played this video every single night for the last 6 months as I fall asleep. I tried switching it up and going back to music or ASMR and I could not fall asleep. Turned this on and fell asleep within 10 minutes. The next morning I realized that I accidentally trained myself to only fall asleep to Tom's voice. Oh well, could be worse I guess.

    Enjoyed your reading and your unique spin on the classical poets that had me totally engaged.
    I’m a poet who specializing in Japanese forms: haiku, tanka, haibun, kyoka, senryu. I hope you don’t mind me sharing a tanka and my haiku tribute poem to Bashō’s frog with commentary by the late AHA founder and poet Jane Reichhold who considered my Basho haiku among her top 10 haiku of all time! What an honor.
    Here’s the Bashō poem and commentary:
    Bashō’s frog
    four hundred years
    of ripples
    At first the idea of picking only 10 of my favorite haiku seemed a rather daunting task. How could I review all the haiku I have read in my life and decide that there were only 10 that were outstanding? Then realized I was already getting a steady stream of excellent haiku day by day through the AHA
    forum.
    The puns and write-offs based on Basho's most famous haiku are so
    numerous I would have said that nothing new could be said with this
    method, but here Al Fogel proved me wrong. Perhaps part of my delight in this haiku lies in the fact that I agree with him. Here he is saying one thing
    about realism-ripples are on a pond after a frog jumps in, but because it refers back to Basho and his famous haiku, he is also saying something about the haiku and authors who have followed him. We, and our work, are just ripples while Basho holds the honor of inventing the idea of "the
    sound of a frog leaping is the sound of water
    As haiku spreads around the world, making ripples in more and larger ponds, its ripples are wider-including us all. But his last word reminds us all that we are only ripples and our lives are ephemeral. It will be the frogs that will remain.

    And my tanka:

    I Love Thee

    My dreaming in the day;
    The very echo of my heart,
    The blessing when I pray:
    I love thee-I love thee!
    Is all that I can say.
    I love thee-I love thee!
    Is ever on my tongue;
    In all my proudest poesy
    That chorus still is sung;

    Amidst the gay and young:
    I love thee-I love thee!
    A thousand maids among.
    I love thee-I love thee!

    The mellow lute upon those lips,
    Whose tender tones entrance;
    But most, dear heart of hearts, thy proofs
    That still these words enhance,
    I love thee-I love thee!
    Whatever be thy chance.

    Bas Ehrmanns piece is called Desiterata, and this is a weird version of Tom's preformance: it's slowed from the original, echo is added and it didn't use to have the music behind it.

    Enjoyed your poetry.
    I’m a poet specializing in Japanese forms: haiku, tanka, haibun, kyoka, senryu. I hope you don’t mind me sharing a tanka and my haiku, a tribute poem to Bashō’s frog with commentary by the late AHA founder and poet Jane Reichhold who considered my Basho haiku among her top 10 haiku of all time. What an honor.
    Here’s the Bashō poem and commentary:
    Bashō’s frog
    four hundred years
    of ripples
    At first the idea of picking only 10 of my favorite haiku seemed a rather daunting task. How could I review all the haiku I have read in my life and decide that there were only 10 that were outstanding? Then realized I was already getting a steady stream of excellent haiku day by day through the AHA
    forum.
    The puns and write-offs based on Basho's most famous haiku are so
    numerous I would have said that nothing new could be said with this
    method, but here Al Fogel proved me wrong. Perhaps part of my delight in this haiku lies in the fact that I agree with him. Here he is saying one thing
    about realism-ripples are on a pond after a frog jumps in, but because it refers back to Basho and his famous haiku, he is also saying something about the haiku and authors who have followed him. We, and our work, are just ripples while Basho holds the honor of inventing the idea of "the
    sound of a frog leaping is the sound of water".
    As haiku spreads around the world, making ripples in more and larger ponds, its ripples are wider-including us all. But his last word reminds us all that we are only ripples and our lives are that ephemeral. It will be the frogs that will remain.
    ~~
    And my tanka:
    returning home
    from a Jackson Pollock
    exhibition
    I smear my face with paint
    and turn into art
    ~~
    -All love in isolation
    from Miami Beach,
    Florida.
