OUR condolences to Miss Harriet Monroe,
who pilots the good ship Poetry. Jay Sig
mund tells us that she has never printed any
of his poetry; instead Miss Clara Prince who
publishes 'The American Poetry Magazine" in
Milwaukee. is the lady who displayed that good
Judgment. We acknowledge our error.
OUR MODESTY.
("Why don't you publish more of your own
poetry? Don't be so modest."-J. G. 81
We'd like to write a poem every hour,
We'd love to twang our syncopating Tyre;
We should like to write poem-if for naught
else save to show em
That we have our share of true poetic fire.
There's nothing that would give us greater
pleasure
Than to let our fingers wander DER the keys
OF cur faithful old typewriter-with our rhyth-
mic raps to smite 'er-
lessee, what rimes with keys? All, yes
tits cheeseD
AS We were saying (when you interrupted),
We certainly should like to write some
verse:
Toy with dactyI, with iambic: do some riming
dithyrambc--
And our feet in the Castaliap spring
immerse.
But there's a reason why cannot do it:
Tor we'd compose and print some poetry if
Our great modesty would let US. Will 1t never
cease to fret us?
but the fact is we are just a lazy stiffD
