    After reading your poem, it will be difficult to even come close to doing justice to it, but I am inspired to try

    how am I to match the beauty of that ... first I'd have to gather my wits and then figure out how to make long something that's sort of like a little tiny beautiful hummingbird that beams a concentration of just everything, and none of that stuff will stretch ...

    oakie doakie, i'll give it a shot, but my computer can only put up with so much of me crying and pounding the table and stuff ...

    did you know when I get frustrated I tip the monitor on its left side and all the words go right justified? ... i know that's irrelevant, but it really isn't

    I broke your rule.
    But entered anyway.

    I just wanted it to be here.
    It belonged even if it is just a side note


    I will properly enter your other contests though.
    I hope
