 10:35:32  Points: 3.11764 Sea Weed submitted by Duane J Jackson on 2009-02-18 00:27:19  Points: 1.55882 Wands, Mirrors and Glass submitted by Regis L Chapman on 2009-02-04 15:56:47 I contend Dellena is cleary our most improved poet. Lora, you just made me want more with, Dancing. DeniMari, it's good to see you back and Says Who is a very well and thoughtful compilation adding badly needed appreciation for the complexity (and vastly over-generalized, if not demonized, oldest profession.) MAH's short visit served just enough to remind us of his talent and huge potential. Thomas, your, Contribution was interesting but not of the level we've grown accustomed to seeing your work rest so much upon. Mr. Patton remarkably moved a bit away from the rustic in Meaningful Mush and I would like to see him continue that trend. For those that have not read Bugaboo, it's the most entertaining poem we've had around in a while.  I've been pretty aggressive about a couple of poems and I don't apologize. When I do that it's to encourage the improvement I see the poet capable of making, not to be mean. If I didn't think the person had it in them to produce, I wouldn't bother. Not after that affair with Ms. Bennet, who obviously didn't.  And MSS, your absence is significant this month. Would it help if we sent the car around for you? My best to everyone and let's try and make March cause for joy in heralding in the Goddess of  Spring with poem offering.  JCH
