"How deep the April night is in its noon," - Archibald Lampman; April Night... https://www.poetrycat.com/archibald-lampman/april

"If any man, with sleepless care oppressed,""Sleep" by Archibald Lampman
https://allpoetry.com/poem/8473617-S...hibald-Lampman

Interesting poem... an artist crafting "An image of sweet sleep in carven stone,", a maiden of perfect aspect "More sweet and slight than any mortal maid." Enjoyed :)

"J" poems are now becoming "as scarce as hens teeth"... hmmm...

"Just after you sign and envision building homes on" - Arthur Sze; Jaguar Song... https://poets.org/poem/jaguar-song

My problem is "k". I suggest we proceed like with "Q", "X" and "Z" and look of authors with the looked for letter in their names.

Jaguar Song- strong poem about force and fear.

"Leodogran, the King of Cameliard," - Alfred Tennyson; The Coming Of Arthur... https://www.poetrycat.com/alfred-ten...ming-of-arthur

I love the legends of the round table. DIdnt know or remember all this controversy about Arthur's birth. Didn’t think that the round table was a symbol of unification of smaller kingdoms into a bigger one.

"Shall we, too, rise forgetful from our sleep"."Love And Death" by Sara Teasdale

Odd, that page captured my cursor comet like in blue as my mouse moved... perhaps an April Fools' prank :)

Pondering eternity... the answer yes :)
