An August Cricket, by Arthur Goodenough
[...]
His life is brief as is the leaf
To summer branches clinging!
But yet no thought of death or grief
He mentions in his singing.

I'm glad you liked. It was a last-minute substitution. I had Leigh
Hunt's "Grasshopper and Cricket" poem pencilled in for Saturday (as it's
been on my "Summer" list for years, but I reread it before posting and noticed the word "June" -- so I decided to hold it for next June, and
look for an August cricket instead.
You're right about rarity; Goodenough was like Robert F. Skillings, a
farmer who lived all his life on his farm, and I'd never heard of him
before. But I put up a PPP bio for him, andI found quite a bit more for
him than for Skillings: Goodenough did start a literary zine in his 20s,
got to know some of the New England literary community, and did have 4
books published, as well as poems in a few other zines.

A new poet for me:
He is. I was telling Zod that he was like Skillings; a farmer who lived
on his farm all his life, and wrote poetry. But he did make some impact
in the literary community.

Thanks for posting the link; I think PPP is the only place, outside the Brattleboro Historical Society (which provided most of the info) to find
any info on Goodenough.
Since you've already been there, you know about the literary connetion
to H.P. Lovecraft; something I tried to play up.
