DateS of Birth
Date of birth—hmmmmm, even when we know or think we know a lot about someone, betimes we don’t even know the day they entered the multiverse.
With that in mind, we can do something about it!
Below find a mini quiz to enjoy. No, you are not sitting for any exam.
No, you do not need to pay a registration fee.
No, you will not receive a grade by e mail, snail mail, or even in person (if that last possibility still exists ☺ ).
Yes, please have fun and do not dismay if you do not know the answers.
The quiz has 10 regular questions. Then there are four bonus questions dedicated to writers. (After all, this is Hour of Writes, write—I mean, right?)
See the date of the person’s birth, read the brief information—hint—about the person, and then guess his or her name.

Oh, excuse me please; accept the bonus original, yes, new poem, sonnet, especially written for Hours of Writes by one of the poets, re-emerging to donate this work to HOW:
Sonnet # 45
Although my name to some extent mimics
a reigning one, my aim is not to reign
nor rain, instead to shine some sun on times
I hear beset you all so far away
from mine. So listen up and try to learn from one
who watched the world in different times but not
alone you know. We bobbed together through
the bumps, and I hung around for more or less
five and fifty years, without, you understand, a
single cell, ap, bus, plane, or all the stuff you dudes
seem to need to nourish you. And that we
did, despite the hue ;-) we pasted on, in Eng-
lish first and last, not the kind my dad would have
liked, so he never spoke to me again.
