Nursery Rhyme. DCXXX. Relics by Unknown
"Daffy-down-dilly has come up to town,"... https://www.public-domain-poetry.com...x-relics-34262

Lol! Seems we are contributing to the monetization of some poetry pages. And the plans are not cheap. At least not for me who have to multiply the value × 5. So no poeticous any more.

Link didn't work, but found the rhyme here:https://allnurseryrhymes.com/daffy-down-dilly/

"Experiment to me"."Experiment to me" by Emily Dickinson

I'm perplexed... evidently some poems are still accessible at Poeticous ? ref: https://www.poeticous.com/r-l-mccall...eaceful-dreams

Enjoyed Emily's poem and the summary/interpretation you found :)

"From the Past and Unavailing" - Edwin Arlington Robinson; The Pilot... https://www.poemine.com/Edwin-Arling...The-Pilot.html

The poem I accessed was also without paywall. Maybe there are versions with and without paywalls.

"You are gone, but we are sailing,/And the old ways are all new." The brave pilot is dead, but his mates strive to survive.


"Go, Valentine, and tell that lovely maid"."Go,Valentine" by Robert Southey

"Hold high the woof, dear friends, that we may see" - George Santayana; On a Piece of Tapestry... https://allpoetry.com/poem/14374232-...orge-Santayana

May be remotely related to the poem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valentine%27s_Day

Exquisitely tapestry of colors. But when I read: "Hold high the woof" I could have sworn that it was a dog poem.

"I would I might forget that I am I,"."I would I might forget that I am I," by George Santayana.

Excellent article on Valentines Day... sometimes a bit morbid and pretty much banned in Iran and other Muslim countries to varying degrees... June 12 in Brasil. Enjoyed :)

re: woof - Lolol !

Enjoyed George's sonnet and the summary provided :)
