Additional Notes:
I was very drawn to 'Made Of Ink' particularly because of what it said in so few lines. The metaphor was very original. Was one of Kenneth's best in a very long time.

Hello Duane; Thanks for your votes on my poems; I was hoping for Ne'er Paragon to come in better than the other; but the voters counts make the difference. Hoping all is well with you; and that you have an uplifting weekend; and that you're writing - can't believe it's almost the middle of June already; & thank God it's been mildly warm here. JC was outstanding in May; as well as MSS - I really liked Patterns too - and Lora is being true to herself & style of always grabbing my imagination with great writes. Take care, blessings, Deni

I agree, I just wish he'd stop using the first person. Perhaps I discounted too much for that. Guess I'll just have to accept him as rustic-poet-in-residence. Thank you for your generosity shown towards my very own. It's good to see we agree on DeniMari's progress, easily the most improved poet of late. JCH
