I wish I could learn how to appeal to editors. Even when a given editor has published my work, even more than once, I've not noticed any guarantee that another poem will be taken. What is it, Maryann, that you learn that you might pass on to the rest of us?
I'm thinking only in terms of submission. What I write is what I write and I trust that is so for you, too.
Best,
Marcia
