"Congratiulations! David now joins the host of now famous  poets to get his literary work rejected by an intellectual!  Is there an unwritten law that all authors have to endure the purgatory of multiple rejections, and cutting criticisms until some creative/visionary individual sees their worth?   I am certain that e e cummings' work was faulted for his lack of punctuation. Edgar Allan Poe died in abject rejection, not having his work recognized until after his death. I looked up this one poem of his on the internet. Alone.  David's experience might resonate with Poe.   If the message doesn't fit, it is futile to kill the messenger.  The literary worth will stand on its own, its truth endure over time, and when it is recognized and how it is recognized is immaterial. Endurance is key."

Thank you so much for your kind words and encouragement. I love Poe! I appreciate very much all of the help people have given me since embarking down this path and none more than Tara because there is so much that I can't do but we can!

Thank you very much,

David
