Firstly, thank you. I have been a lurker on the Poetry sub for the past few weeks and have read some really amazing poems.

I wanted to share that I have started a new YouTube channel focussed on poetry (and electric skateboarding to a certain degree!) called Sk8oetry.

A little background - I read stories and the occasional poem for a well known children's website and have always wanted to break loose and have my own poetry channel on the side (hence the change of name to RonnyB!)

I have recently launched so there are only 4 poem videos up at the moment on Sk8oetry but I'm very much looking forward to making more.

I know the channel won't be everyone's cup of tea. It is not high brow but I hope that my enthusiasm for poetry appeals and the backdrop of me electric skateboarding in different parts of London behind the poem interests some people as well.

I would love to hear people's feedback on the channel. I am just getting started and feedback at the moment will really help me for my future videos.

The poems up currently are:

"London" - William Blake (skip to 2:02 for the poem)

"If" - Rudyard Kipling

"Travel Light" - Diane Cluck and Jeffrey Lewis (this is a song read as a poem)

"The Charge of the Light Brigade" - Tennyson

I hope you enjoy!
