Janice Canerdy Poet Rhyme

Confused

I’m irked by journal publishers who claim,
“We love ALL types of poetry. Please send
your best—free verse or formal. We accept
up to five poems. First, we recommend
you read at least two issues.” So I do—
from front to back and find no rhymes at all,
no meter! Someday I’ll respond to them,
“You DON’T print formal verse, and you have gall!”

Chris Green October 26, 2018 at 8:02 AM That is definitely aggravating but their only goal is to take your money, not help you achieve your goal...unless of course it is spending money with them. :) Nicely done Janice. best of luck in the contest Janice Canerdy October 26, 2018 at 8:27 AM Thanks so much, Chris! I wish they'd just say, "Rhyming poetry has the same chance as a snowball in ____!" Janice
