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.

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!

Poetry: Death, love, saucy love, saucy death, utter melancholy, or plain silliness. That's the only kinds you get!

Great impulsive idea Bre, it looks like everyone really enjoyed it.
Personally I'm not too good at these so left it for the professionals, who solved it in no time! πŸ‘
