grannyjill: "I loved this poem! (I know it clearly states somewhere in the
rules that it is forbidden to say such things BUT)"
I asked Leanne, she says that the rules permit such things as long as
the ratio of sober criticism to fawning is 5 or greater. (She checked yours
and it was 5.2 so: you're on shaky ground but if you come down hard
on billy and Mark you should be able to get it back up to a respectable
number.) Then she said "Oh, it's Ray! That's never a problem as Ray is
exempt so it's OK to fawn over him as much as you like." So, that's
what she said, gods' honest truths.
grannyjill again: "I am simply providing you with positive feedback which no doubt will be useful
to you in your poetry-writing career.
This is so true! I'm looking forward to all future positive feedbacks from
you. My self-esteem is expanding as I type. (That IS my self-esteem,
isn't it?)
The ever-lovely and most gracious grannyjill spake thus: ".....it goes without saying
that Winky-the-dwarf represents the down-trodden and oppressed of this world."
You are completely correct, let me compliment you on your selection!
(Any resemblance between Winky-the-dwarf and my expanding self-esteem
is but a vicious thought promulgated by the forces of doubleplusungood.
