I bit the bullet and submitted my first poem to poetry magazine. Unfortunately I have to wait up to 8 weeks to find out if I stink or not I also can't post it here because it's against their rules of submission. I'm kind of nervous about it but I'm sure 8 weeks from now I won't even remember submitting it. I'll give you a little hint though. It was inspired by a member of this site.

Well done, ooby!
And remember, even if they don't accept your poem, it doesn't mean it 'stinks'. After all, J.K. Rowling's book, 'Harry Potter' was rejected by about a dozen publishers until she found the one who knew better. The others must still be on heavy meds!
If you click on that link don't be startled by the image of the guy with the "Oil Can Harry" mustashe, it's just the govenor of IL. What a sleeze, I knew he was corrupt the first time I saw his pic, his eyes are too close together, that's a dead giveaway in my book.

I hope your published ooby. Good on you for trying.
My poem was rejected! Therefore I have no qualms about posting it here.
She stands like a goddess in faded blue jeans A simple girl just trying to get by She'd be in my arms not just in my dreams If I could fly, could fly could fly If only I could fly
I know it won’t happen, at least not today Life isn't fair, what more can I say But if there's a heaven in clouds up above The day may arrive when I'll give her my love My love, my love my love I'll give her all of my love
She'll trade in her jeans for a white wedding gown Her friends will all come from miles around The first kiss is mine, I just couldn't bear The thought of her kiss with another to share Her kiss is mine, is mine, is mine Her kiss will always be mine

Touching and endearing. It looks like it would make a beautiful song, as well.
