Delightful preschool poem :)
"Robert Frost at midnight, the audience gone" - Robert Lowell; Robert Frost... https://www.amerlit.com/poems/POEMS%...t%20(1969).pdf
An interesting very ambiguos poem. I suspect the footnotes refer to another poem of the same collection, because in the poem itself there is no mention of T S Elliot.
"Saturday night: the sun is going down;"."A Picture" by William Osborn Stoddard
http://www.poetryatlas.com/poetry/po...a-picture.html
TSE and Robert Frost were contemporaries of Robert Lowell... the footnotes are ambiguous due to the incomplete nature of the document... some more on RL... https://www.literarymatters.org/10-1...ningful%20way.
Enjoyed WOS's poem... a peaceful vignette :)
"The Wind god, Eolus, sat one morn" - Pamela S. Vining, (J. C. Yule); The Dance Of The Winds... https://www.public-domain-poetry.com...he-winds-34432
Thanks for the essay on Lowell. I may have seen his name before, but I wasn't aware of his importance for US poetry.
A charming good humored description of a tempest and its aftermath. Enjoyed so much!
"Under my window-ledge the waters race,"."Coole Park and Ballylee, 1931

Enjoyed the rich language of Yeats' home. I didn't catch "The poem anticipates both her passing and the destruction of Coole itself." in my reading. Enjoyed his bio too :)
"Velvet hearts thump incessantly lighter." - Greycloud99; Velvet hearts... (Awesoku/Romantiku)... https://allpoetry.com/poem/18335187-...y-Greycloud99/
The poem contains many images of age and destruction. Maybe it's that. Ex:"Sound of a stick upon the floor, a sound
From somebody that toils from chair to chair;"But all is changed, that high horse riderless,/Though mounted in that saddle Homer rode/
Where the swan drifts upon a darkening flood.«
Enjoyed "Velvet Hearts"¡

The following poem reminded me of a villanelle I wrote in response to a word challenge on 7/4/2022: "After Thunder Comes the Rain", lol -

Lol! Xantipe has the worst of fames, but I don't think that Socrates was an ideal husband either.

"San Miguel de la Tumba is a convent vast and wide;"San Miguel de Convent" Gonçalo de Berceo/Henry W. Longfeiiow (translator?)
http://www.poetryatlas.com/poetry/po...e-convent.html
Enjoyed. I've been fascinated by the site since my first French lessons more than 60 years ago. A wikipedia entry of Mont St. Michel: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mont-Saint-Michel :)
Lol... I seem to have had a lapse of alphabetical order... many apologies... getting back on track...
