We would not take the time to read, organize our thoughts and reply to the poems posted here if we didn't feel that the OP had the potential to absorb and possibly gain something from our comments, and I have found that the writers that come and stay a while do seem to be able to rise at least a bit from where we were yesterday, and some soar. It's a slow process but worth the time spent, again from both sides.
So thank you all for making the pen what it is: a yeasty, sometimes stinky, place to stir the brew.
