Hello George, this is a good time to suggest some poetry by
Leonora Speyer, which fits the spring theme:

Yes, spring's a good time to think of Leonora Speyer (for whom
spring was a frequent subject), but a better place would be in her
own thread. Speyer is almost forgotten these days, but was well
known as both a violinist and a poet in the early half of the 20th
century, winning the Pulitzer Prize in Poetry in 1927. She deserves
her own place on aapc, rather than just crammed in at the bottom of
a thread on someone else.

Poetry by Leonora Speyer:

(That link looks odd but hopefully it'll work.)

Here's a link to 10 of Speyer's poems on the Academy of American
Poets site.

There's also a Wikipedia article on her, but I won't give that
link. Instead I'll link the Penny's Poetry Pages article, which is
essentially the same, but also includes links to both of her poetry
collections, as well as a video of one of her poems, "Spring
Cowardice." https://pennyspoetry.fandom.com/wiki/Leonora_Speyer

Again, good find.

Dunce Steals From Speyer!
Donkey Brays Approval.

Dunce has a Gollum-like look in his eye when he finds poems that he
can steal.

You're going to get George vewy, vewy angwy.
