Default 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.

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.)
