Each person has their own: Each person has their own point of view. You should be expressing yourself in your poetry. Pundits and scholars be damned, first person narrative can really drive home that point.
The least common denominator: The least common denominator and a levelling of the playing field whilst sharing in a commonality whilst killing social taboo.
It would seem that an once of: It would seem that an once of care is almost always worth several pounds of cure. Prevention of disaster allows room for more fun!
Thanks most kindly, dear: Thanks most kindly, dear Patricia. If lines could still be made to dance and come ablaze then there is still some writing left to be done.
Thank you for stopping by and: Thank you for stopping by and leaving such a ravishing and expansive contemplation on my theme. Always an honor when you stop by.

It came to me in a flurry, and was supposed to be a Tanka, and yet demanded more lines than a Tanka affords, while keeping those lines to five syllables each.
