a) How many free verse authors submitted their work for consideration?

b) Indeed, how many free verse poems in total were submitted for consideration?

c) Is there, somehow, a case being made that some works of outstanding quality have been ignored because they were free verse?

d) Why is it 'interesting' that not one free verse poem has been selected?

e) What is the significance of expressing 'fine' in commas?


f) Were Hannah and Little Big Horn submitted by their authors for consideration?

g) Are the authors above complaining or is there now a complaint being made on their behalf?

h) Where was it said that Rhina was going to pick the best poems for review?

i) What is wrong with the present method of selecting poems for review?

j) Should we all vote annually to pick the poems to be reviewed?

k) Is any one convinced that adopting this last would mean that the soreheads would be silenced?
