I'll call your two cents.

I was having (as you might be able to tell by the previous post) a bit of
difficulty understanding why Robert's poem would set someone on their ear,
but having gone back through the whole thread there are a few things that
came clear.

1) I would also be happy to take a look at the examples Duchess Willow has
offered to bring to Coronation.

2) I would like to suggest that her Grace also "commission" the bards of
Ansteorra to submit poetry based upon a list that she would create.   While
I'm not trying to "volunteer" her, I agree with Pendaran that this Courtesy
book should be compiled by someone who has the vision of what they want.  I
see this in Her Grace's character, and would gladly submit a piece in hopes
that it might become a part of the work.  Whoever chooses to do this, please
count me in on the wordsmithing.

And so.

"Shutting up sir."

In service to the dream with a song in my heart I am,
