Behind The Scenes (Jack’s Challenge)

I have been quite happily smitten


With the superbly fine words written


About AD and its snuggly warm feel,


Friendly atmosphere we know is real.


 


With artistic power, ten thousand writers


For perfect words are tenacious fighters.


Birth our thoughts for thousands each day,


With greatest of ease in entry and display.


 


To review and critique is part of the fun.


It’s there, available to every one:


Improved chat boards for poetry postings,


Articles and stories, blogs for roastings,


 


Books for sale, complete with reviews,


Well-planned author’s interviews,


Personal libraries save what we prize,


Works deemed noteworthy or wise.


 


Tools for communication we use a lot,


Public relations, or an advertising spot.


The Den Spirit for perfection strives


To do things which improve our lives.


 


And to whom do lavish praise we owe,


To none other than Matt Miller and Co.


To the Den staff, won’t name even one,


But their due care makes our lives fun.


 


To those whom Denizens owe the most,


Let’s tip our glasses, drink a merry toast:


The very best writers’ forum, online or off,


To them, for The Den, our hats we doff.
