The Wondering Minstrels

Theme: What we heard about the japanese 

These are the poems appearing in Poetry Corner on my web site. Many of
them have been taken from WM in the first place - either as a source of
the text for a poem I already knew or as a work new to me.

Those not available for inclusion are:

In Memoriam Kenneth Wood, inventor of the "Kenwood" Mixer and the
Reversible Toaster, E. J. Thribb; 

Let me die a young man's death, Roger McGough (can't think why that's
not in there - maybe it is just my search technique); 

Bloody Orkneys, Captain Hamish Blair RN; 

Evidently Chickentown, John Cooper; Clarke

Democracy, Leonard Cohen;

A dead statesman, Rudyard Kipling;

Discovery, Hillaire Belloc;

Just give me some truth, John Lennon;

Proud to be proud, Greg Keeler; Piggy boy's lament, Greg Keeler; 

This be the verse, Philip Larkin;

Valentine, John Fuller;

Wind, A J Hodgkinson;

The boy, G Blackburn;

Slough, John Betjemen (surely some mistake);

The gas man cometh, Michael Flanders;

Still I rise, Maya Angelou;

It's a shame the poems are not presented in the sequence I entered
them.
