Hey Nitoo, there is no need to qualify the thanks. Initially, I hadn't wanted to say anything except the "good going" and in my view posting merely that to the entire group is not very polite (that I googled Ramabai was an aside I added later). This is a rule I follow when I moderate zestpoets, although Juhi and Shivam might have different viewpoints.
You're right, however - my mail can spark conversations about whether a poem needs to make "complete sense" for one to "like" it. Incidentally, it would be interesting to know what things make for "warmer and more collaborative poetic climes" for each of us. Am glad you liked my poems, N.
