publication is exceedingly difficult, and, though I haven\'t attempted to publish anything if my own, I\'m sure rejection must sting. another reason why I love this site, though; you don\'t need a fancy publisher... just you and your work, and that\'s beautiful. it\'s also such a blessing to have others read your work and enjoy it. enjoyed the read! a fave, as well.

Too true at least so it was with Eugene Bullard the black swallow of death. After submitting his biography he was told that it was too unbelievable and would not be published. Indeed it was too unbelievable but was all true. He seems to have been the black Forest Gump. Love the read it brought that back to mind, rejection does not always mean inferior it can mean that it is simply too good to be accepted.

Every contest I\'ve entered earns me nothing but chagrin, whence it\'s pointless wasting the half pennies to have my work bound and printed since obviously nobody wants it. Let us expire with the rest of humanity and...presto! Our work may well be revered. Only when we\'re six feet under, mind you. Gorgeously rendered with excellent imagery and a deliciously familiar poignancy. Thank you for sharing. I love, love, LOVE it!

Hello Tristan,
Those gatekeepers don\'t know good shit when they see it and particularly this one. You should send it to them - hahaha! I really enjoyed this one; you never let the reader down.
All the best,
Tony.

Oh dear, been there and have had that done to me in parallel forms. Gatekeepers don\'t own the place but they do brandish the keys quite wilfully. You know there are enough of us about to put out an independent label (if it were like a Motown story) mmm...

There’s a way to word things when rejecting someone’s work .. and if anyones going to reject someone’s work .. in a cold strange way .. then I think that’s not very nice to the person submitting their work

Searching for knowledge and leaving one\'s blood on the pages of poetry, science, literature or history is never a bad thing. Immortalized better than a spider that only leaves dry husks. A deep read in what at first appears to be a simple poem

Cheeky Missy said:
Hahaha. You\'ll cherish the pesky vermin? Oh man! Back in the day too many, many years ago when we lived on the Colorado prairies, [where Texas longhorn were the cattle the rancher who let his graze across the fence from us owned] we\'d such a fly problem Dad hung not one nor two long yellow, sticky tongues of flypaper over our dining table no less; they hung there immemorially, until the carcasses of the damned dropped off into the dishes and platters below. And you\'ll immortalize one, eh? My la. Charming, I guess. Or, the proverbial fly upon the wall met its timely death when it dared to leave the wall for the artist\'s page, eh? Either way, beautifully rendered in exquisite brevity with a touch of imagery to haunt it. Thank you for sharing.

Where Are They Now?
NafisaSB said:
such devastation causes not only untold destruction but misery too, and ruins tell their own story
a very powerful poem starkly representing what was, and what is

Emotional attachment that comes with any tattoo is quite enormous especially if you put someone\'s name on it, my father has them all over, the one that stands out for me is the Jesus on the cross he has on his chest, it\'s huge and was painted over 60 years ago. A great theme 🌹

Cheeky Missy said:
Hmm. Tattoos the other means of covering aside from clothing, like the pair I saw yesterday at Panera so decked out that clothing seemed an extra, are essentially permanent yet occasionally momentary, and in the latter may well become tattered. Or I\'m too ignorant and the message in brevity so eloquently delivered is that we\'re all but ghosts painted on the fabric of forever and fading away? Beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

Marks that stay but fade, Scared over and dirtied, tattered most poetic casts a different image and in alliteration with tattoos it rings and leaves an image of used up like a flag torn and bullet ridden in war. And so are we in the war of life. Nicely done Tristan
