Thanks, one and all! Happy reading! And if you're so inclined, I hope you'll follow us on Twitter @LightPoetryMag and on Facebook at Light Poetry Magazine.

A star-studded issue indeed, Melissa! I shall be lightening up my day, in fact my week, there. A treasure IMHO.

Siham

Thanks, Siham! You're a treasure too, IMHO. ;)

Oh, my goodness, this issue is a hoot! I've been laughing out loud and sending friends the links to some of these poems for the last twenty minutes. Well done, all!

I've enjoyed what I've read so far and am looking forward to reading more when my teaching duties allow. There is nothing like some light verse to perk up my day.

Susan

I was happy to see the article setting the story straight re the Boston toast that many of us thought we knew. Very interesting, Mike.

Julie, thanks.

And thanks to all of you who participated in my little poll, which helped Melissa & me to calibrate the piece.

A great pleasure, as always -- I just started in and it's already got me chuckling. Congrats to all!

Best,

Ed

Once I started reading, I could not stop. Another successful gathering of funny and talented folks. Thanks editors and poets who carried this chuckle-worthy collection into the Light of day.

Thrilled to be there, too. A most enjoyable issue.

I've stayed up late (it's past midnight here) to finish reading it all in one go. Now I can go to bed having spent an enjoyable time in the company of many friends; thanks for making me laugh so much, all of you :D

Jayne

Delighted to know that you all have been enjoying the issue.

Now that Winter/Spring '15 is out in the world, we're back to reading submissions... and looking forward to more Spherian wit!
