Short Poetry Collection 131

Short Poetry Collection 131, by Various, is a snappy, mood-shifting listen that brings thirteen short poems to life through the voices of LibriVox volunteer readers. This Poetry collection packs lyrical variety into a compact runtime—perfect for quick commutes, study breaks, or evening reflection. Inside, you’ll find a curated mix of lyrical, pastoral, reflective, and occasionally playful pieces that highlight different rhythms, images, and emotional textures. The selections—drawn from the broad public-domain tradition and performed in April 2014—offer glimpses of changing poetic tastes and techniques, from formal verse to looser, conversational tones. The historical context emerges organically in the language and themes: some poems evoke older conventions of meter and nature, while others anticipate modern introspection and irony. Listeners can expect clear, earnest readings that honor the original lines without editorializing—no spoilers, just pure verse. Ideal for newcomers to poetry and seasoned listeners alike, this audiobook is a convenient gateway into short-form verse and a reminder that a single poem can alter a mood or sharpen a thought. Tune in for variety, brevity, and the pleasure of spoken Poetry.
