Ah, JazzO... if it's any consolation, I received no comments - in public - on my twin dactyls. And as far as I know, shanks (er... make that Snark) has received none on his lengthy-reference-filled verse. I enjoyed your faux history, as usual, and I'm sure others did, as well. We soldier on....

Dear AnnaStrophic: Since the poets among us have no equals among us, and are entitled to judgment only by their peers, silence is an inevitable consequence.

[tsuwm] >so, out of 2230 registered users, only 30 (not allowing for regulars who were otherwise occupied) felt connected enough to add to the anniversary thread. is there a problem therein, or is that the best core you can hope for in this sort of venue? (any lurkers who would like to chime in?)
I blush to say that I am one of the late well-wishers and (MaxQ "is the problem therein". When I saw his very colorful opening salvo, I wanted some colors, too. But I did not know how to use the markup in your posts feature ( I'm still a stranger, you see)and there's the rub. So while everyone was busy sending in their greetings, I was working hard on "coloring". (Sparteye I hope you are looking at this post.) In addition, "I lost a thread" so I was looking for that, too. With the able help of wwh I was able to find that thread, but by then it was midnight and I was already very sleepy......

Anna !
I thought your poem was great.
I was happy to read it. Put a big smile on my face.

Ravi I've already written to. I enjoyed reading Rhuby's verse from the Rubaiayat. It's very apt and - it is the Rubaiyat! (enough said) I liked Jo's, Max's and musick's messages. And Jazzo! And of course everyone's messages - really.

Well, as long as we're all gonna grouse about our birthday wish posts ... (I have to admit, I didn't see this coming.)
JazzO, you at least should have picked up on my Broad and High praises.
Well?
And wordcrazy, I'm glad you found the markup commands!
GO SPARTANS!

[wide-eyed-waiting-for-return-compliment emoticon]Avy! I hope I'm not too late (handing you eyedrops). I enjoyed your offering, especially the anastrophe in the first line of the second stanza.
