I read with interest your comments on rejection/acceptance. <BR/><BR/>I must say I had a good laugh about "Joe Cool". <BR/><BR/>As beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so is acceptance and rejection, don't you think? What one person likes, another person may not!<BR/><BR/>I do have one comment about sending material out, especially to TPS for inclusion. Unless the poet knows what the editor wants, how can they write a poem to meet the criteria????<BR/><BR/>It was easy to write something for the Dundas Art Work as one had a picture to write about. In a book like Tower's publication, would it not be a good idea for the editor to suggest themes so poets can have a good picture of what is wanted?<BR/><BR/>I do agree about not sending work to a firm who deals in one subject (mystery for example) and sending them a love poem. It does not fit their criteria and thus, one is setting oneself up for rejection.<BR/><BR/>It is an interesting subject which affects all writers and poets. <BR/><BR/>Keep up the good work Jefferson!Wilma Sevillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00791663426779087637noreply@blogger.com
