We learn a lot from these pieces because it tells us what the editors are looking for. And it is a joy to read we...

Re: God Lives (version 3)
It is not similar in that way. It is about seeing God in a dancer. It has already been workshopped here.

Re: Leopold Mozart Writes to his Daughter
The argument within the poem is well worked at--though I admit that I will have to read up some of the back story.

I second Bob’s poem.
As for my poem I have not yet heard from where I submitted it under another title. So we will let it pass.
Thanks

Re: Donkey's Milk
Thanks Bob for your tips. I will work on it in the morning. I wrote it for the theme ‘Cinema’ and the workshopping is in the evening . By tomorrow night it should be ready.
There is no passion in the poem. That has to come from a genuine love of the Tamil theatre.

For the first time he imported a Sri Lankan heroine fo...
