Comment from Bill Schott

Excellent

This piece on Joan E. Is both descriptive and brief (Bless you.) I recall a couple of her pieces on her travels with the dogs and enjoyed them. Appreciate your short poem.

Thanks to Robin Corum's letting me know about your poem, I was able to enjoy your tribute. I appreciate your acknowledging my being a teacher, and using the Whitney form as the vehicle. Your use of alliteration is quite effective. I am very grateful. Big cheers and best wishes in the contest and the new year- Joan

Joan my friend, I am glad you were able to read this homage to you; I couldn't let you know myself because this is a contest entry. I am pleased that you found out, thanks to Robin and a big thank you.
