What a treat! A forum page full of contributions!!
So here's what I've added to the MW, in hopes I haven't missed anything:

One more - Inversnaid by Gerard Manley Hopkins
Thank you, Patrick!
Thank you, Paddy! Welcome to our poetry collection!
Congrats on your very first recording! It's great!
A few points to remember for your next uploads: we don't use upper-case letters in filenames (don't worry about this one, I've changed it in the system - so this link may not work now, but the link in the MW works
)
and take care to leave about 5 seconds of silence at the end of the recording (it matters more in longer recordings, so don't worry about this short one, just remember, about 1 second at the start, and 5 seconds at the end)
I hope you enjoy it here! I know I enjoyed listening to your recording
Thank you, Larry! All good now
Through pms, we decided with April that this is more of a prose than poem, so April chose another entertaining poem for our collection:
https://librivox.org/uploads/rapunzelina/spc180_smallpeople_adr_128kb.mp3 time 2:46
In Praise of Small People by Carlo Innocenzo Frugoni 1692-1768
http://www.bartleby.com/380/poem/837.html
which is now in the Magic Window
April, you can still use your recording of The Conceited Fool in the Short Story Collection, if you'd like, adjusting the intro/outro according to that project's first post.

"Hope" is the thing with feathers by Emily Dickinson (1830-1886)
This one is a fun tribute to the Royal Wedding - Prince Harry served as an army helicopter pilot before he commenced full time royal duties.
On the Wedding of the Aeronaut by Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)
Thank you, Ian! That was a creative connection

The Selfsame Song by Thomas Hardy (1840-1928)
An Autumn Rain-Scene by Thomas Hardy (1840-1928)
Hope it's OK. I have to get better at reading poetry! I'm out of practice.
I'm very glad to hear your voice again!
These recordings are just missing the intro part of "read for LibriVox dot org by [your name] (or some variation on that)", after the "[Poem title], by [author]", so that the librivox name is in there. Everything else is fine! Will you be able to make the additions and post by tomorrow evening when I catalogue? Sorry I delayed checking.
