Sticking with the watery theme
Under the sea, the great wide sea - Under the Sea by Fannie Isabelle Sherrick
https://www.poetrycat.com/fannie-isa.../under-the-sea
On the Shore... https://fullreads.com/poetry/on-the-shore/
Both sea poems are mesmerizing in their simplicity and make me long for the sea :)
Perez' Halloween in the Anthropocene, 2015 is a haunting tragic poem.
"Vague, vague 'neath darkling waves," - Madison Julius Cawein

Ok breaking the theme but Wordsworth is an old favorite of mine, and the first line of this did bemuse me somewhat
Why art thou silent! Is thy love a plant - Speak by William Wordsworth
https://englishverse.com/poems/speak

Had to do some research on Melville's poem:... seems this bird is predatory upon other birds who have caught prey and will harass the targeted birds until they regurgitate their meal - the meal to be taken by the frigate bird. I guess mariners often regaled these and other birds.Quote:
Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary
Man-of-war hawk
(Zoöl) the frigate bird.
Interesting poem as it's now 2:00 am here in the Gold Country:
"Zut! it's two o'clock." - Robert William Service Noctambule...

Loved Noctambule.Ample and concise at a time.
And here we are back to "A".
"A little grey curl from my father's head" A little grey Curl by Louisa May Alcott
I know I usually go for the daker stuff, but I was drawn to how joyful this line was
Bards of Passion and of Mirth - Bards of Passion of Mirth by John Keats
https://www.bartleby.com/101/630.html
Two worthy poems !
罕啵ꨪ팥㽙꺾㵗啓喩呴嵿䫮䵿渵眷巹罕啵 ??
So for a lark I took Keat's poem and ran
the meter through a binary translator
(using UTF-16 little endian) and got an
output that translated with three English
style words appearing to be a Chinese
name: Han Po Kai (which I then googled
and translated a result from Chinese
using google translate) and found an
interesting message: "oh come oh come
shout break open ah doo ah want" -
I wonder what Keats' meant ? :)

Enjoyed the geese poem, Dark Muse! Finally a poet recognized the geese rights!
Loved the good humored poem by Patricia Smith. Found also by her:

... I haven't noticed any spam. Maybe you're referring to my poems title 罕啵ꨪ팥㽙꺾㵗啓喩呴嵿䫮䵿渵眷巹罕啵 ??... that was the translation from the binary string I derived from Keats' metre of the poem using UTF-16 little endian. Hopefully we're not under attack otherwise.Quote:

Reminded me ever so briefly of your coin poem:

I can't edit for some reason without copy/paste, etc... Such a tender story told in The Swan.

#170- I was kidding. The symbols were so familiar, though I think, the Keats sequence is different from the spam sequences. No, no real spam.
#180- Thanks! Usually editing is not possible. One presses the edit button and there appears a blank page. But there is a trick that may work. When the blank page appears I press "Go Advanced". The page will protest that the message is to short, but if one goes one step back one can now edit the post. At the end one will have the post in unedited and edited version. But that is easy to mend.

Family Affair: Wow... so much comes to mind as the poem unfolds and questions remain unanswered re: Uncles/Police the dead/the living.
My Heaven: Such a tender poem - Incredible poet; wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ella_Wheeler_Wilcox yet another seeker who journeyed to California's Rosicrucian society for solace.

I donīt know if it is a location problem. When I open the link above, there appears a map.
"You’d have to pay us". You’d Have to Pay Me Could You Pay Me Enough by Sara Peters
https://www.poetryinvoice.com/poems/...-pay-me-enough
Yes, this poetry anthology source adds a map to locate where poems are/were referenced for context (haven't checked very many).
"you'd have to pay us" had me off balance so I checked for more info: "If you have a poem in our anthology what inspired you to write it?:" “You'd Have to Pay Me Could You Pay Me Enough”] was the second last poem I wrote for my book. I was thinking about a nameless group of people being held hostage. I was also imagining a powerfully manipulative female leader." - from the same website... https://www.poetryinvoice.com/poems/poets/sara-peters ... eeesh !

Enjoyed "Work Without Hope"... "A Short Analysis of Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s ‘Work without Hope’"... https://interestingliterature.com/20...mary-analysis/
To An Unborn Pauper Child Quite mellancholy - Wikipedia: "Many of Hardy's poems deal with themes of disappointment in love and life, and "the perversity of fate", but the best of them present these themes with "a carefully controlled elegiac feeling".[49]"
