It was a perfect opportunity for me as its being both ingenious and out of the mainstream, I wrote several. I noticed that its particular characteristics led toward light verse, a style of poetry despirately needing a boost nowadays. I e-mailed Lori with my suggestion that she publish a chapbook given entirely to swap quatrains and indicated my support in that I'd buy 40. My offer stands. However, in that Lori may become famous in the field as a result and MM members held for having exhibited such good taste, I've changed my intent as to distribution. I originally planned to distribute the copies to local libraries, but I'll first distribute one to the local library of each contributor. Now, let's get on with it! Cheers, Ron jgd ·············· Ron Jones MM Award Winner
