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

Hi Roy. What a nice thing to say Roy I try hatd and I also believe in giving credit when it is duecand rama has been most helpful especially in my picture this challenge she offed much advice in punctuation and I think it resd much better now. I must learn more on how and when to punctuate Maybe go back to school and this time listen Ha Ha ( I actually have a Masters degree in Adult Education and Training from Monash Uni. Three years of study and managed several HD,s for my essays. But when it comes to punctuation in poerty I often stumble LOL. Anyway I hope rama like my ode. Cheers my friend Christine

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

Comment from Dean Kuch
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

a very nice well written poem
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

Comment from lyenochka
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."
