Poetry Rules

I am very grateful to Cooper Renner, poetry editor of elimae  for having sent me a lovely rejection mail just a few days ago. He took the pain of writing back that the poems I had sent his way weren't right for the magazine, but that they were accomplished work and that he suggested I should send them to the editor of their sister magazine with his best wishes. I promptly did so and well, one of the three has been accepted to be published. I am still a novice, but I am learning a lot about the publishing world out there!  

Sending poetry to magazines, eventually. Took me too long to get started and, after a week, I am glad to report my very first acceptance and my very first rejection. Keep writing and ad maiora !
