Sandra Kasturi's sonnetaweek project was how I met her, and why I asked her to be editor of the Demiverse project for the ORU when the urge to make an ORU connection struck. I always loved the old, rhymning poety, and the full-figured emotions of Shakespearean drama. Sandra missed more than a few weeks in her sonnetaweek group on yahoo, but she hasn't stopped!

Here's her latest, entitled: Refuting Complaints, with Melodrama.
