Hello to all my new followers. Thank you so much for adding me to your lists. I appreciate it. Take a look at a new poem I posted this morning called "Summer Grass". And no, it's not about the smoking type of grass. Let me know what you think. Thank you all again. jim
Hey, I was wondering if you could check out some of my poems? It would mean the world to me, but it's fine if you don't want to :)
Welcome new followers! Almost 4000 of you fine folks have signed on and I appreciate it. Thanks to all of you who have read my little poems. In the near future look for a new posting of a small collection of my work. My best wishes to you all and - keep writing and reading.

It has been great seeing all the new followers who have signed on to my page. There have been so many that I can't reply to each of you individually. Just want to say thank you and invite you to check out my poetry as it gets added here.

Non capisco nulla !!! :-/
Hi emma, I have had some work published but it is a constant challenge. I had ten poems in an anthology called "Said and Unsaid" from the Winding Creek Press branch of Iconic Publishing. The publisher was not a good one and the book didn't do anything much. I've had a few poems published in a small Arts magazine in New York State. A couple others in newspapers. I do enter competitions. The one on this site last year got me in the top ten. Also last year I was a runner-up for first place in the Faulkner Wisdom poetry competition. I'm considering a self-published collection of poems next year if some of my submissions to publishers don't get results. As I said it is a struggle. If I had academic connections there would be a better chance since many universities and colleges have very close relationships with small publishing houses. But I keep writing and sending stuff out. I also read at local poetry events when I can. So there's a long answer to your very kind short question.
do you ever get your works published...?
