Default Kreiling and Mullin at Autumn Sky

Autumn Sky Poetry Daily keeps delivering the goods, starting the week off with "Not on Her Original To-Do List" by Jean L. Kreiling, then following up with "I Nailed You" by Rick Mullin. My congrats to both poets.

Best,

Ed

Thanks Ed. Thanks Catherine and Susan.
Mine was punched up here and improved in the process. Thanks to all!

Here's a link to the publisher's site for my book.

Yes, both fine poems.

As for my tastes (and for transparency I must say I've been published there a few times myself (and rejected as well too)) Autumn Sky has one of the highest percentages out there of poems that reward reading. Many esteemed journals have a success rate of less than 10%, again, for me. It's sad to read whole issues of journals without connecting with a single poem, but it happens all too often. Every week I read good things in Autumn Sky that touch my imagination and life.

Those who truly love poetry can be very hard to please.
