Yes RD is, as I've found, the most helpful of all the reviewers. She has likewise improved my punctuation 100% I think. Also she has improved my grammar, although that wasn't as critical as my punctuation. Beautifully written tribute to a fine reviewer. Written in iambic pentameter aabb rhymed with strategic feminine endings, well done, you're a good poet Christine. Blessings, Roy

You clever girl you, my education is still basic, but high school education in those days was hot on grammar, not so sure nowadays, good job,

Ha Ha Roy Yes Perhaps I should have taken in more lessons, I get stuck on the small stuff often and it is nice to have help when needed I have always said one can never be too old to learn or take advice Cheers Christine

I completely concur, Christine.
I am going to hire rd to edit my own book of poetry. There's no one I'd rather have helping me get it done.
I'm going to shoot for a Halloween release this year.
Although the horror genre is far from her preferred cup of tea, she always reviews my work--horror or otherwise--with the same objectivity as she would a romance piece.
She's most assuredly one of the "good guys" here.
Excellent ode to dear Rama and her many talents.

Hi Dean yes indeed and what a good choice. I sometime stumble on the editing and punctuation, (hopefully get the words right )but often assistance is needed and rama has done that with one of my recent posts and now it reads so much better. Love the Buda cheers and good light to you Christine

the reviewer is certainly honoured with your words
your rhyme scheme is good and the rhymes are fine and work well
the 10 to 12 meter is quite effective and flows well
a good story in a poem

I totally agree! Rama is a wonderful and kind and wise soul. I do cherish her reviews also. So glad that you wrote a tribute to her! You said it all especially in the last verse:
"We need a wise and kind soul on our site
Who'll take their time, to make our writings right.
There's many here who'll help, you would agree
But for today, my 'Thanks' to rama devi."
