and here is an ultra-shorty for once. But I liked it very much

"Epigram VII" by Anonymous / I couldn't really find the author in the book. It said constantly "by the same" so I paged through them all and in the end I found anonymous, unless I overlooked something

Yes, that took longer to enter into the MW, than it took to listen

And yes, it is a very sweet poem! Thank you, Sonia!

Well I will be making up for the shortness of the last one by handing in a longer poem as my third submission. (warning: the title is also longer

) A very funny account of a fencing match.

"Extempore verses upon a trial of skill between the two great masters of defence, Messieurs Figg and Sutton" by John Byrom (1692-1763)

Normally wouldn't read something like "Bars Fight," but it's the first literature written by an African-American person. ^^

A new poet, I think, for the catalog:

Thank you for the snow scene! It feels very accurate! Has it been snowing since before Halloween where you are, Larry?
