    Lobber: Hi my writing friend,
    what a fantastic free-verse from your relentless pen )or is it )keyboard strokes. Regardless, your words flow with power, determination and a remarkable visual preciseness. You?ve created a very fine painting using words.
    In my theatre class for techies, I tried to teach students how to pull down a final curtain based on the mood and rhythm of the play. Most failed miserably. You, sir, know how to close a poem. You do not need my advice or guidance.
    Great job and performance.
    - Jer
    P.S. I refer to you in a review I wrote. I hope you approve.
