The irresistible moment arrives…

Now I have written five hundred poems
And I will write five hundred more
Just to be the poet who wrote the thousand
Poems now strewn all over his floor

It had to be done…

(Except it turns out I hadn’t… Misnumbering at some point meant this was not Poem 500 but 451!)
