   Oh, lovely. You’ll have to tell us how Maddie is taken to Kindergarten. I don’t get the present tense comment! Inside joke? I feel so left out..

    It wasn’t really a joke, it was the poetry critique-r in me having a knee jerk reaction that I was immediately sorry for …it’s just that poetry, especially, is so immediate that present tense tends to work better – makes the reader a participant rather than an observer.and now that H is never speaking to me again for my unspeakable rudeness, I’m shutting up
