I didn't think I was ever going to get it. I try to write one a little longer now. Hopefully perfect. Thank you Balladeer for your help. |

Smartchick, I, for one, never had any doubts that you would understand Iambic meter. It's obvious you love to write, there-fore everything will fall into place.It does help to have such wonderful coaches like Nan And Deer. Be well, write much. Doc |
