The Chapbook

I submitted a chapbook;
a competition,
paid my twenty-five dollars
and waited.
All I got was an e-mailed receipt.
I had to go on-line to see –

no mention.

That was years ago
but I now mention it
for most of those unripe words
have now turned to wine
and sometimes they are 
good enough to drink.
