I thought perhaps the breakdown of poems submitted for the next
The Barefoot Muse (coming soon!) issue might be of interest:
Sonnets: Rejected 107, Accepted 8
Villanelles: Rejected 24, Accepted 1
Sestinas: Rejected 12, Accepted 0
Triolets: Rejected 7, Accepted 1
Other: Rejected 169, Accepted 14
Personally I'm rather partial to triolets. I have one of my own in the next issue of The Absinthe Literary Review (if it ever appears!) called "The F**k You Triolet", which I hope explodes the myth that repetends are always dull...
I'm also quite passionate about sonnets, although I receive plenty of bad ones. Villanelles are tricky. It says something perhaps that the one I accepted is light verse.
Cheers,
Anna, usually lurking
