  Between October of 2023 to April 2024 I've had seven poems accepted by journals. If there is such a thing as a groove, this might be it. I'll share a link when they publish later this spring.  "three hundred" is a a mix of irony, perception, anonymity, and the how we blend with those we love. It is probably the freshest poem that I've had accepted. Many of my poems have been years in the making. It was 9 days old when I got this email surprise.

Can't say I don't enjoy these emails. I'm also glad the poem Cottony found a home. It has been a work in progress for many, many years. And a reminder of the perseverance necessary to get published. .  Since January of 2016, I've made 891 submissions I've written 226 poems that I felt were ready to submit   I've made an average of 127 submissions per year  In those 7 years, 28 poems have been accepted .   About 4 poems per year have been accepted that's a 3% acceptance rate
