Of course that's okay, Makera.
What's
also okay is that since Vesuvius says, "I am a new poet. But it is harder than I thought....I want it to be good. It is not going good. I can't think of the words. It makes me respect George more," that I suggest directly to Ves [as a new poet] that as these lessons are learned, the respect be granted to other, deserving ones here, as well. Writing poetry ~ much less good poetry ~ is not an easy task. It takes nothing away from Georges, and the poem to Georges speaks for itself, anyway. In fact, it wouldn't be repeating anything at all. It would be a brand-new day
!
In fact, I only brought up other times [by way of explanation], with regard to your comment to me about it. Going by the first poem, it didn't appear to me that Vesuvius is trying to emulate Georges's vocabulary, at all.....but is merely trying to compose a simple poem that expresses what is intended. As the longtime encourager of all the poets, Vesuvius can now extend rightful
respect to them all, as well

Still stands
