First Things
 

The new issue has a witty poem from John Whitworth and a gorgeously beautiful one by Maryann Corbett.

Mike, thank you! Which poem? I haven't seen a contributor's copy.
Paul L. recently took two of mine, and one never knows with First Things whether a poem will appear soon or not for a year or more.

(Editing back: I should learn a little patience. My copy came in today's mail.)

Your poem is "Pelicans at Nags Head' and John's is "The Scapegoat."

Congratulations to you both.

I love it that Maryann didn't know which "gorgeously beautiful" poem of hers Mike meant. For most people that description would narrow things down quite a bit.

Mike, thanks again. Roger, LOL.

Congratulations to Maryann & John!

Congratulations Maryann and John.

Congratulations, you two! Will look for the poems.

It's nice to know I'm witty. I'd rather be gorgeously beautiful, but you can't have everything.

Confetti! Beautiful and witty sounds like a fine pair. Good to see an example of industriousness in submission, too. (Alas, I am not industrious in that way.)
