Must be the difference in copyright laws here and there... I'll go ahead and stop linking to that site :(

"Vanish...": delightful :)

"Within the long grass where I lay" - Andrew Blakemore Long Grass... https://www.poemhunter.com/poem/long-grass/

Thanks, tailor! Yes I think so too, because in the Google selection, the beginning of the poems appear!
Long Grass...a very bucolic poem, one needs these respites!

"Yellowish-grey sand, soft at the top, hard, grating below " The Sphinx , Ivan Turgeniev
https://mypoeticside.com/show-classic-poem-31630

Intriguing poem... did some quick study on Turgeniev and after a read or two found some more of his short story/prose/poems here of all places: http://www.online-literature.com/turgenev/2707/ :)

"Zeus is in a bad mood" - Linda Frances Zeus the God of the Sky... https://www.lineofpoetry.com/linda-f...god-of-the-sky

Thanks for the Turgeniev link. I have read some of his short stories but I didn´t know he was also a poet.
Enjoyed the climate change poem, ha,ha!

A curious poem: "All those times I was bored". Bored by Margaret Atwood

http://famouspoetsandpoems.com/poets...wood/poems/324

I agree... found an analysis of the poem that may be of interest... https://poemanalysis.com/margaret-atwood/bored/

"brash talk on sidewalk" - Hari Alluri area boys... https://www.poetryinvoice.com/poems/area-boys

re: Bored .Thanks for the interesting analysis. What got me is how the feeling expressed in the poem went against the title. As we would say in Brazil, the narrator "was happy and didn´t know it".

Enjoyed Area Boys light irreverence. And the author adhered to our occasional esthetical mean ;):
to three generation base-/ment epithets we remain.

"Conchita debemos to speak totalmente in English" Doña Josefina Counsels Doña Conceptión Before Entering Searsby Maurice Kilwein Guevara
https://www.poetryinvoice.com/poems/...rs?language=fr

lol... love the Brasilian expression: "was happy and didn´t know it"

re: "Conchita debemos to speak totalmente in English"... lololololololololololololololololol !!!

"darkly fills all the space" - Bonnie Manion The Iowa River at Floodstage... http://www.bonniemanion.com/poems.php ... "Nature" heading/ 2nd column/ near end

Enjoyed the modern river poem by Bonnie Mannion. Thanks for seeking the authors page, tailor ( I stand rebuked) as the poetry atlas works here only as atlas.

Explored this poet´s page "Every newborn"- What Every Newborn Knows also by Bonnie Manion

bonniemanion.com/poems/poem.php?id=54

Sweet poem of innocence :)

More Bonnie Manion... "flooring, though manmade," Terrazo
http://www.bonniemanion.com/poems/poem.php?id=325

Interesting. The poem itself is a flood of words.
"G'way an' quit dat noise, Miss Lucy--" When Malindy Sings by Paul Laurence Dunbar
https://www.public-domain-poetry.com...dy-sings-14833

Had a look at the poets site, I thought this was Scottish dialect:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Laurence_Dunbar

Enjoyed his dialectic tone, it's something I try to convey with much less effect in my few dialectical poems. Such a promising career cut short through disease.

"Hadst thou wished for things good or noble and had not" - Sappho... https://www.sacred-texts.com/cla/sappho/sappho1.htm#26

Interesting fragment. Never read Sap pho before
"In the middle of our porridge plates" Butterfly Laughter by Katherine Mansfield
http://famouspoetsandpoems.com/poets...eld/poems/2738

Delightful poem :) I once had dinner at my old Bishop's home, a finer dinner than I'd had in quite a while, when someone remarked that I shouldn't eat the plate's decoration (lol).

"Jingzhou Dongwu mutual meet water for place" - Meng Haoran Seeing Off Du Shisi South of the River... https://www.poemhunter.com/poem/seei...-of-the-river/

Beautiful!

"King David was a sorrowful man:". King David by Walter De La Mare
https://www.public-domain-poetry.com...ng-david-33418

Touching poem. Our Monday evening FHE group and Sunday School is studying the Old Testament this year and we're in the middle of the Books of Psalms, so this poem is quite timely :)

"Leaves swoon" - Rajinder Apr 2018 On a foggy morning... https://hellopoetry.com/poem/2446265...foggy-morning/
