10/10 and I do not apologise for not qualifying that in any way.
I knew 9/10 of the poems.

I love poetry.

5/10. I was only sure of 2, and one of those was because of the dialect.

I clicked on this thread just now with the intention of posting: 'Looking forward to seeing Sundae's score - bet she gets them all!'

The only two I felt sure about were Burns and Milton.

I have no score, I didn't even bother taking it. Assume zero.

8/10. Sorry Dr Adelstein, it's been 30 years. I knew Dickinson, Eliot and Ginsburg, and I figured out Burns and Milton.
