Or maybe I just need to write better, less-rejectable poems, because if they're truly worth reading... nah. Couldn't be that. Not in a million years.

Sure, Jack. Editors of big, famous poetry magazines are infallible. If they reject a poem, it couldn't possibly be worth reading. We must not question their judgment or deviate from the norms they set down for us. Why, that would be...thinking for ourselves! Can't have that. They are superior beings, and we must lick their boots in craven obedience.
