Perfectly true for a modern poet, but if you replaced "Tom" with any single-named ancient Greek poet it would be a very natural-sounding sentence.

How would Tatoeba typically distinguish between cases like that? With tags like "ancient" or "modern"? With notations in the comments?

I think you'd just have to contribute a duplicate of this substituting in the name of a single-named ancient Greek poet.

However, perhaps rather than creating a very near duplicate of this one, creating an example of this usage with a different sentence pattern might be better.

Note that we do have a few "Homer" sentences.
