on A Poet To His Baby Son by James Weldon Johnson, 1 day ago
wow, I thought the first three stanzas were so touching and funny and then the whole thing just went to Hell in a handbasket. Talk about throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
on Colonel Fazackerley Butterworth-Toast by Charles Causley, on July 1
This is another delightful find - love a good ghost story. Well done, Mr. Causley.
on Mrs Moffat by Christopher Hassall, on June 30
Maybe the can't in the second to the last line is "ain't" and he's being ironic, but I somehow doubt it given the last line in the first stanza.
on Mrs Moffat by Christopher Hassall, on June 30
This is a surprising delight of a poem to find an dmakes me so glad I live in this part of the world where Wall*Mart has failed and you can still find the touch of a Mrs Moffat.

On another note, I think there may be something wrong with the second to the last line - the word "can't" just can't be right. Perhaps it's "am"?
There also needs to be a r on "ever" in the line "That you ever meant to buy."

Can AP please get rid of this blue bar with lines encapulating the poem's titles when you access them from the AP front page as the poem of the day? Thank you.
