I only knew a handful for sure and many of the actual poems sounded so familiar but I just couldn’t place them with their authors…oh well. It was fun guessing. Now I’m off to check how many I got right!!!
39 points! I probably wouldn’t have even got that many right 😉
Just checked…I got an extra 2 answers right by guessing! Woot!
