    Saturday's poem on Penny's Poetry Blog:
    April on the Battlefields, by Leonora Speyer

    April now walks the fields again,
    Trailing her leaves
    And holding all her buds against her heart

    I'd like to thank Will Dockery for bringing Leonora Speyer's poetry to
    my attention last month. As soon as I found this one, I thought it made
    a perfect intro to "The Waste Land" in the April archive; something I
    was having some trouble finding.

    You fucked up all the attributions, Peabrain. I'm going to have to
    repost to show who said what.

    Psst... Dunce...

    Leonora Speyer lived from 1872 to 1956.

    Those are the dates on the blog (and the wiki), Michael Monkey.

    I sincerely doubt that she is the flower child whose photo is attached
    to this thread.

    MMP, the only photo I "attached" to the poem (on the blog and the
    web-based social media posts) was a picture of Chickamauga battlefield
    in April. I didn't attach any photo to the usenet posting. But thanks
    for commenting.

    Once again, I'm HtH & HAND

    Once again, you're PtP (playing the Peabrain :).
