Notes About The Poem

/Cmd+V

THE OFFERING *

Here, I am,
Before your altar I stand, oh, PoetrySoup, 
At attention,
In awe, 
Not out of fear, but out of respect,  
With my heart filled with gratitude,
Ready, an offering to make:
This humble new book of mine,
That 
Was conceived among your poetic pages, and
Was nurtured under the watchful eyes of my fellow poets,
Who, 
For almost twelve years now,
With their criticism,
Their encouragements, and 
Their appraisals,
Helped me put it together. 

THANK YOU ALL!

Daniel Henry Rodgers July 28, 2026 at 6:45 AM Hello Demetrios, I am very happy for you that your new book is out. I have been writing poetry for 50 years now and am working on putting together my first book. Can you give me some advice on self-publishing, and if so, with whom? What is the goal for each of your books? Number of poems, types of poems, etc... Have you worked with any professional publishers? You are welcome to send me PS mail if that is easier. Thank you, my friend. Congrats on Your New Book! Blessings, Daniel Demetrios Trifiatis July 28, 2026 at 10:05 AM I am happy to know that you are planning to publish your first book after so many years of writing poetry. I have been writing poetry for sixty years, and this is my fifth book. You ask me for advice. This is difficult. However, I have already written to my publisher about you. Therefore, send me a message with your E-mail and I will pass it to him. Your book, once published, it will be on the Amazon list. Good luck!
