In school, my name was stingingly mocked with "Marge at Large" or some such rhyming epithet. Also, I've never enjoyed being "in charge" even tho I understand you mean it as a compliment! Aside from those initial freak-outs, I am totally flummoxed by your flattering poem. I'm reading the Dalia Lama right now, trying to get down the 8 tenets of Buddhism & one is to put other people above oneself. That is the tenet I try to employ when I review people becuz the best way to boost someone's tendency to write is to boost their feelings about self. When a review is largely corrective, it really deflates a writer & then instead of better writing, we often get NO writing. For me, it's all just a numbers game . . . putting it in so I can take quite a bit out (I'm just a dull-headed nimwit without the inspirational influence of reading all the amazing poets here!) Thank you for pumping up my ego to a dangerous level. I need to go for cup #2 & pipeload #1 of the day (at 6 am) to balance out this big ego trip you put me on! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie
