I've had some acceptances in the past few weeks, all on poems which were workshopped here, and thanks are in order.
Candelabrum (UK) took A Bouquet of Triolets.
Medicinal Purposes accepted The Love of Sushi Sue.
And Cumberland Poetry Review took four poems: two sonnets - The Disappearance and The Perfect Sonnet - plus Erato Makes the Sarasota Scene, which was about four rabbis boarding a charter fishing boat; and a hybrid tanka/het-met piece on a chance New York encounter with an old Tokyo geisha lover, Two Tales from the East, which was one of the first poems I workshopped here, about a year ago.
The advice, feedback and encouragement I received on the Sphere was a major factor in slapping these into enough shape to get into print. Sushi Sue, in particular (bless you, Kevin, Chris and Roger) was tweaked until it bled - and began to make more sense. Thanks to all.
