Confused
I’m irked by journal publishers who claim,
“We love ALL types of poetry. Please send
your best—free verse or formal. We accept
up to five poems. First, we recommend
you read at least two issues.” So I do—
from front to back and find no rhymes at all,
no meter! Someday I’ll respond to them,
“You DON’T print formal verse, and you have gall!”
