> Pray tell, you must be the very image of the Suffering Servant of Stephen, if you yet remain loyal to your Esteemed Dictator whilst he so rudely belittles thine efforts as "trivial tasks." How can you stand it? For myself, I must confess that I come to bury Stephen, not to praise him. But for *you*, I recognize your noble efforts, and am humbled by your bonds of loyalty in the face of adversity. You are an inspiration to us all.

I would like to point out that Stephen very rarely belittles my efforts. The choice of the words "trivial tasks" was my own, but Stephen had nothing but praise for my work when it was first posted. Our kind and benevolent Stephen is always generous with his support to those who are humble enough to earn it.

> Wolf "Incidentally, I yanked 92.6% of the in-depth description of the villanelle and terzanelle from this site, (which doesn't seem to load all the time for me, so I repeated the info here for The Supreme Director SDoMC's Magnific Benefit, instead of just linking to it). After all this -- why, he'd BETTER write something suitably praseworthy for Stephen, don't you think? :-)" spirit

Your efforts are much appreciated, Wolfspirit. Perhaps I shall test my skills as a poet by writing a villanelle or terzanelle in Stephen's honor.
