Starting a new game, got the idea from one in which I've been participating, "First and last letter Worldwide Recipe Game!" with Allyson Elizabeth D´Angelo on her USACook/HomeCook forum.

Mine is called "First/Last Letter of Poet's Name." Here's how it works:

1. The first poster names a poet using first and last name.
2. The first poster then identifies the last letter of the poet's last name.
3. The next poster will name a poet whose first name begins with the last letter of preceding poet's last name.

Example:

Emily Dickinson
Next: N

Norman Dubie
Next: E

Hi, Mona,

Thanks for participating. It's ok if we repeat, because it will be impossible to keep track if very many play or if we play for very long.

Glad to have you aboard! Robert Frost is always worth repeating, IMHO.

smile Robert Frost is one of my favorites, so, yes, worth repeating. Maybe not so early in the game. But I daresay that may be how the message "Robert Graves" got muddled on the way from my brain to my fingers!

Beetle, how interesting. I was at first surprised to find that Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote poetry on the side - I mean, where did he find the time? But even more surprised to realise it was his father who was the poet. Amongst other occupations. What an amazing family!

It appears that many artists - from all aspects - have the knack to dabble in & publish poetry. All it takes is expression of an idea or theme.

You're correct. Sorry, Beetlemess, my mistake!

BTW, if you don't mind my asking, what is "Beetlemess"? Is that your actual name?

BeetleMess = the 2 callsigns I had as a Naval Aviator. A past BellaOnline editor did an interview/report about 3 years ago in which I revealed the originations of the two. I just went searching & didn't seem to locate it right away.
