generosity

no emotional gushing
nothing evoking despair
no sing-song
no work in the style of Ogden Nash
length can be a problem
no last bastions of rhyme
nothing didactic
no egotistical rantings
no sage brush
accpets poetry from children
if they are subscribers

Surprised no one has commented on this, Sarah. I found it sharp as a Mother-in-Law's tongue.

this gave me a huge smile, sarah and some teehees. i feel that the part about length is the whole turning point of it all. i like the bit about the children, too.
