A reminder that some folks poetry postings here on PS can be identified as they add small marks at the end of their poem or they consistently using emboldened type.It becomes their 'house style' so to speak.Please amend as per my blog conditions for purposes of complete anonymity in my contests.Thanks for your ongoing support to my ' premieres.'
