I've had a VERY long string of journal rejections over the past year, so this positive attention is going straight to my head. Whoo-hooo!
Thanks to Rhina, Tim, Carol, Sharon, and all those who commented on the poems, for your efforts.
Kudos to David, Maz, Jim, and everyone who shared their work here.
The main lesson I've learned through this experience is that tastes sure do vary. Some of the poems I loved in this batch left other readers quite cold, and vice versa. I'll try to keep that in mind when I check my mailbox. A rejection letter might mean that the particular poems I sent in are lousy, or it might mean that I just haven't found the right reader for them yet.
