Mr. Halitsky,

A belated welcome to the Block. Regarding your comments to Mr. Metz: I would hope you apply your new found knowledge to your next poem - you may even come with a piece worth a second reading, and perhaps a comment or two. I sense a real talent here, so make it simple. You may surprise yourself with the results. It is just the WORDS.

regards, dmjones

: Metz -

: I confess I am learning from you.

: 1) Adopt a flat plainspeak voice and diction;

: 2) mix in just the right amount of
: post-everything sardonic archness, being
: sure to indicate with subtle cues that you
: can't possibly mean what the piece is saying
: at face value;

: 3) most importantly - talk about yourself.

: Thanks for another lesson! How much was that
: again?

: David Halitsky
