'Tara McHale says, titter titter titter'! :) t xx

Ted, I just love this. What it comes over as is a grumpy old man gripe and yet it is such a beautifully crafted piece of poetry. For me this is something many modern European and English poets cannot do (there is a distinction!) and I'm sure there is some geosociopsychological reason for it. But hey! who cares once it get done to this standard.

In some ways I find this to be funny. I think it's well written, Ted. I also must say that I am thrilled and very proud that the work I've been submitting to magazines is being so warmly received and PUBLISHED! ! ! I absolutely believe that there is a market for your work. I absolutely believe that YOU should be sending work out at the same manic pace that I, and others have been. I think you'd be pleasantly surprised at the response...and you would even begin to see that hanging out here with 'poets' whose writing absolutely pales in comparison to you, Jefferson, Denis, Wendy, John Kay, Eric Paul Shaffer, and mine, is a huge waste of time and exquisitely counter-productive.
