Sunday's poem on Penny's Poetry Blog:
A Song to the New Year, by Barry Cornwall

Hark!
The Old Year is gone!
And the young New Year is coming!
Through minutes, and days, and unknown skies,
My soul on her forward journey flies

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bryan_Procter

Yes, Bryan Waller Procter. (Note how easy it would be to misspell his name.)

Yes, I corrected my spelling, above.

I don't know

why he adopted the "Barry Cornwall" pen name, but I use it as it's PPP policy to default to
the name the writer published under.

BTW, PPP does not use the Wikipedia article on him (we use the /DNB/), so I'll give our
link as well: https://pennyspoetry.fandom.com/wiki/Barry_Cornwall

Thanks again for the heads up.

Why is it excellent? And the title is wrong. George Dunce was so anxious to post our poem that he didn't even bother to check the title. We give him two Moose Knuckles for that.

And say they'd rather
Dunce disappear.

George Dunce's explanation (nk) will not be that he made a mistake. It will be Cujo's fault or NG or Pendragon did something nefarious to edit his subject line.
