Today's poem on Penny's Poetry Blog:
May and the Poets, by Leigh Hunt
There is May in books forever;
May will part from Spenser never;
May’s in Milton, May’s in Prior,
May’s in Chaucer, Thomson, Dyer

Yes, it really is. I stumbled onto it on Sunday -- to date I have just
one poem for Mother's Day, planned out for May -- and I thought it was
just what I was looking for. I wanted a short lyric, something I could
use as a summing up, to end the month on a lyrical note after the long
2-part Spenser poem I'll be blogging next weekend. "May and the Poets"
worked perfectly; and as a bonus, it begins by namechecking Spenser.
Then I checked it with the original publication, and found it was just
the ending of a much longer poem called "To May." But I decided not to
mess with it, because that would not have worked as well.
Turns out it's also Hunt's debut on the blog, too. Which is good, as he
also brings a huge stock of poetry for me to go through. I've already
found another Hunt poem for June.

Excellent back story, also.

George J. Dance wrote:Will Dockery, please add "back story" to terms that you misuse and do not understand. What George Dance gave was background information on why he chose the poem, not a "back story," which by the way is one word---backstory.
