Douglas, tasteless is fine to a degree. But her blog specifically says no Newtown poems, for example, and you can probably imagine other verboten subjects. You can submit a lot of poems, but that doesn't mean that absolutely anything goes.

Newtown, Connecticut is where we just had that horrible school massacre.

The SI's Obit poems ran today, and Bob Schechter not only scored the coveted Inkin' Memorial but had an impressive total of three poems printed. Chris O'Carroll landed two in the racier online Conversational, and Brendan Beary and I inked one each. I was dismayed, though, to note that the first line of mine had been changed and no longer scans.

And Melissa Balmain shared some of hers with me awhile ago and, imo, she wuz robbed . . .

Anyway, congrats to all, and if the links don't work, perhaps some enterprising soul will post some that do.
