JOSIE'S POEMS
Poems to Perform
By Josie Whitehead
As I love to write with perfect rhyme and metre, together with pictures which are painted in words, stories and poems with speaking parts, there are hundreds more performance poems on my website, as well as these, as you'll discover, so this is a small portion. - - - -
A SMALL PORTION???
Are you entering a festival for performing arts? As well as music and drama, poetry will always feature in these festivals, and being able to recite (not read) poetry well, is so important. You need to know how to throw your voice clearly across a room whilst putting expression into your performance. Josie

Seek Permission
The safest way to avoid copyright infringement is to obtain permission in advance from the owner of their poem. This might involve contacting the author, their publisher, or a representative. Obtaining permission ensures you are legally allowed to use the poem and avoid potential legal consequences. For myself I am glad that you come to my poems from home or school, but if you use my work in a concert or festival and especially a book, please do ask permission. I may be able to help you.
