I used to play with the plastic boxed kitchen magnetic words. The refridgerator looked strange with layers of my scribbles flowing cross the surfaces. The hardest thing was destroying a 'treasure' to make a new one... but I did. You have heart, courage, wit, can communicate and organize. Its time to be promptless and for YOUR words to be heard... and I look forward to it!

My Dear Writing Friend Judy,
I think three words are key to this poem, adamance, gauche and addle. This poem reminded me of a bumper sticker I once read that stated, “Those of you who think you know everything are annoying to those of us who do”!
I shall reword this in Alaskaeze. “Kindly Bear In Mind, Those of you who refuse to change your mind holding to your pledge of unsophisticatedness only discombobulate every Alaskan that comes into exposure with you! Sincerely The Nobility”.
Well looking at my version I have to say yours looks much more Elitism! I think I shall stick with my dog musher vocabulary that has a few strange words and a couple not proper to list here.
I liked your poem and it made me smile. Listed are the definitions to the three key words.

You fit those words into a very small amount of space :p
Nice.
Interesting format, also. A letter in poetic form--unique.
