You should do well with this. I like the gimmick and it flows naturally, without undo attentiuon to itself. Nicely turned, my dear. REgards, Gerard.

Amazing write, astoundingly true. All the best in the contest. Thanks for the consistency of your friendship ... my health keeps me from being constant in all my heart intends. First I had a miserable sore throat, and then recovering from that I fell immediately after ... was hurting for many days. Yet every time I came online there was something from you to make me take cheer. You are a great friend, but a greater poet.
