Great! If you would like to research one of the poems, here is the poll for this week (which unfortunately ends today, but maybe you’d like to give it a try anyways?)

> Alright, as discussed, we will play some catch up this week. Here are the poems with no commentary as of now (conveniently, there are 5 of them) Pick which ever you would like to research [poll](https://community.wanikani.com/t/belthazar%E2%80%99s-poem-research-club-for-the-betterment-of-everyone%E2%80%99s-education-reading-%E3%83%9E%E3%83%B3%E3%82%AC%E2%9C%96%E3%81%8F%E3%82%8A%E8%BF%94%E3%81%97%E3%81%A7%E3%82%B9%E3%82%A4%E3%82%B9%E3%82%A4%E8%A6%9A%E3%81%88%E3%82%89%E3%82%8C%E3%82%8B%E7%99%BE%E4%BA%BA%E4%B8%80%E9%A6%96/44480/199) Additionally, I think it’s also a good time to discuss about how we should proceed. I don’t think we need a poll for that right now, but I think we might want to discuss more the content of the book as well (based on @Belthazar’s comment). As far as I am concerned, the current format was mostly picked …

You can research the poems even without owning the book, they are (a) listed in the poll (yes, that’s the whole poem!) and (b) available online.
