My little effort ...

I've done a bit of compression and bumped the dB level a bit. Hope it's OK

On the page with the Magic Window the link to the suggestions for next poem did not work. (Not authorised to view - although I was signed in).

I would have liked to suggest "To His Coy Mistress" by Andrew Marvell (1621-1678). He is I think a Metaphysical poet (English). It's neither long or short.

Thanks Peter, I have started a new 'Suggestions' thread and have posted your suggestion which will appear as a project in the next little while. Do you have a link for "To His Coy Mistress" by Andrew Marvell (1621-1678) ?
