I do appreciate all these kind remarks. But I think I know another reason why my Rich & Famous Contract has been held up in the mail-- I'm not a very prolific poet.
One of my writer friends used to say that "A page every day is a book every year". If I were even writing a poem every week, I could be bombarding the world with submissions! However, I'm one of those poets who have to wait till inspiration strikes, and sometimes it's a long time between jolts.
