Read a poem with Joseph Coelho

Enjoy a tongue twisting adventure with the amazing Joseph Coelho as he reads his poem, 'Try'.

Poem's Aloud is a book of poems created to be read out loud. Some are designed to be read slowly, some are designed to be read quickly. Some you can whisper into the ear of a friend, some you can shout as loud as you can.

With Joseph's poem 'Try', you'll discover how words can twist and turn in funny ways, challenging your tongue to dance along.

Try twisting your tongue then tuning your teeth, try taking your tonsils from a tummy tickling thief.

Try tasting your tears then trumpeting your toes, try taping your temper to the tip of your nose.
