I was astonished to receive over 60 messages yesterday about poems I had recently posted.

But I was appalled at the possibility that some of the correspondents had not appreciated that many of these poems were not written by me, but were favourite poems that I wanted to share with others.  Most of them by authors long dead, but all within the public domain, and all attributed.

Reassuringly, however, many of the tributes were for my own verse and I simply wish people to know that where no attribution is given, the work is my own.  Otherwise the author's name will always be revealed.

Sorry I have not written this in verse :)
