Wednesday Word Scramble - Poets edition 📝

[Breanna]

May 31st is Walt Whitman's birthday so I thought we might have a poet-themed scramble today. I'm not sure if he rates on this side of the world, but I bet some of you will definitely remember the iconic Oh Captain, My Captain from the Dead Poet's Society. 

These are poets themselves, rather than titles of poems.

As always, please only one guess per reply, so that everyone has a chance to participate, and also please wait until someone else has guessed after you before you guess again.

Hope to see our regular quizzers and any others I might have forgotten or who want to join the fun! No advance warning on this one so if you don't make it, no sweat!

“Do a loony-goony dance
'Cross the kitchen floor,
Put something silly in the world
That ain't been there before.”

“But I love your feet
only because they walked
upon the earth and upon
the wind and upon the waters,
until they found me.”

Half a league, half a league,

Half a league onward,

All in the valley of Death

   Rode the six hundred.

“Forward, the Light Brigade!

Charge for the guns!” he said.

Into the valley of Death

   Rode the six hundred.
