A couple of months ago I submitted some of my poetry to the magazine "iota" (yes, that's the name of the publication), and forgot about it. Well, today I got an email from them telling me that my work has been shortlisted for the next issue. As you can imagine, I'm just thrilled! Even if I don't get in, it is the first things I've submitted in years and I'm shocked I got that far.
(It started out as a good day, and then, I had my bowling league and with my brand new ball, I did better than average! This IS the way to start the New Year, isn't it?)

My favorite poem:
There was a young man from Spokane
Whose poems would never quite scan.
When told this was so,
He said, "Yes, I know,
But I always try to get as many words into the last line as I possibly can."
That's basically my degree of erudition. Your work must be on a far more rarefied level. Congrats, Chocky!
EDIT:
A poet, too, lived on Cape Cod
Whose limerick scansion was odd.
He thought it was fine
To end the last line
Abruptly.
 --congrats again! |

| Congrats, Chockie! I had a poem stolen once which got published. It didn't seem as great. |

Well dione CL, poetry is a litle hobby of mine too, up there with crosswords abd Suduko, a pleasure I enjoy for myself.
here is a favourite Limerick from the unique Spike Miklligan
There was a young man from Tralee
who got stung on the cheek by a wasp
when asked did it hurt
He said, "Not at all
he can do it again if he likes"
and hs teacher gave out to him because it didn't rhyme!!! The cheek!!
(thanks Whip!!) |

Would you then say that you are a poet and you didn't even know it?
Congratulations ChocolateLady! |

Hehehe. Cute. Of course, I have been published before (and even got paid for my poems a couple of times). But I haven't submitted anything in years and haven't written anything in about as long.
