I am happy that one of my poem/essays has been picked up by a on-line journal for wider publication. I have sent several out - most of which have been rejected. It makes me wonder - with art being subjective - why one poem would be choose over another in a case like this? All of them are of a similar theme and all have been well received elsewhere. I'm not complaining - I'm happy for the opportunity and I would change a thing on the words that were rejected. It's my art. I present my words in the only way I know how and in the only format that I find pleasing. I will keep sending things out and perhaps a pattern will appear - or again with art being subjective perhaps there just isn't one. For whatever reason those chosen set of words struck a chord with the right person - in which case their purpose were well served. I hope that others will read those lucky words and pave the way for more to follow with their enthusiasm. Regardless I will continue writing. It's my constant.
Peace,
Eric
