strong verse and autumn sky

my poems seven things to consider when complaining about the weather and november rules of conduct were accepted by strong verse. :) i'd given up hope - i submitted well over 3 months ago, but mr palmer apologised very nicely for the late reply, and what with such good news, i don't have a problem at all. :) nice side effect that they pay, too.

i'll post a link when the poems are up. not sure when that will be.

also, had a very fast response from christine klocek-lim, editor of autumn sky:

I would be delighted to accept your poem, "Sonnenizio on a Line from Neruda" for the March issue of Autumn Sky Poetry. I was really moved by the imagery and how the repetition of words from the first line carried the poem into a complex weave of emotional connection. I hadn't seen that form before, so I am also indebted to you for introducing it to me.

Also, I liked "Letter #22" very much, especially how it related to Alex Stolis's poems. I considered accepting that one (I only accept one poem per author per issue), but the sonnenizio kept popping into my mind over several days, which is why I'd like to accept that one instead.

the new issue should be up in late february or early march.

song of the day: you suck by the murmurs
