Hi all poets and writers!
You're invited to answer this challenge using the Eponyms listed below. These Eponyms are taken from Webster's NewWorld Dictionary of Eponyms, first published in 1990. It contains the origin of the eponyms, as well as examples and explanations.
You may write sonnets, villanelles and any other form. You may also write in FV. Post as many pieces as you wish, but each poem must include at least 10 of the Eponyms indicated. As usual, you are free to pluralize, personify, remove Caps if it's wise to do so, or use them as metaphors. Whatever!

"There is no life higher than the grasstops Or the hearts of sheep, and the wind Pours by like destiny, bending Everything in one direction."
