On shore, not without considerable help from Google, as poetry is not my forte.

Ashore. More googling than I prefer, but clever puzzle.

Anyone going to Boswords on Sunday?

If it weren't for Google, we'd all have to have a set of encyclopedias! (Heidi)

Marion and I paddled to shore - good ride and toes in the sand. I could rhyme something witty for the poetry theme, but alas not good with the ditty.

Luck to all.

I would like to go, but it's a 3-hour drive, and with Lollapuzzula in August, I doubt I'll make it up there. My wife has limited patience for me taking the whole day to "play crosswords." Going to play it by ear, though. Are you going?

Ashore. A mercifully easy one (both the puzzle and the meta). Most enjoyable.

My poetry education is spotty. I knew the next couple of lines to 25A but couldn’t remember the title; knew two others — not the entire poem but enough for the puzzle; had to Google the last two.

Easy but fun. I fear that Mike and Matt are luring us into complacency so that we’re off guard when they come in with the heavy stuff.

Have an answer. Floating on my back between Isaac & the Tiki bar examining other options.

Ashore, but I will admit that one of the previously posted comments gave me a nudge in the right direction.

Ashore. Happy to get the grid on my own, but like lots of others, needed Mr. G's help to get the meta. Coincidence that Google stock is up over 8 1/2 percent today? Yeah, probably.
