The blossom weights the cherry orchard’s boughs
as if a sudden snow had filled the trees -
You fiend, you hound of hell we have you fast!
In London you have undergone your trial. -

Thank you, Jeff.
If I was selecting, I would eliminate "If Shakespeare be the food of love"; it is not worth sending a covering explanation to say that there is something of a parody here, just so the editor would buy a poem with a verb inversion in it - I see that is one of his pet hates - or couched in deliberately archaic terms. "Imperfect Speakers" is a different matter; although it is on a Shakespearian subject it is a very modern sonnet.
I would eliminate "A Widow's hatred of Wallace" - perhaps - as being the weakest one here.
"our cherry blossom festival" is erotic.
That would leave four, and I might then slip in "Bloke in a gold ear-ring", sans picture. Ironically, J** D***** liked it.
