Submission

In Poetry on 5 November, 2009

Thank you for sub­mit­ting
and I have read with care
but it’s not what I am after
I wish you luck elsewhere

I dir­ect you to our guidelines
where it’s clear that what we want
is writ­ing that is writ­ten
in a quite spe­cific font

The attach­ment is import­ant
and I’m afraid it has occurred
that the words we have to read
are in the wrong ver­sion of Word

We offer no opin­ions
of how you might adjust
the work that you have offered
it just isn’t right for us

Rus­sell Ber­ris­ford is a Brit who has recently moved to Van­couver, Canada, and is now try­ing not to write about moun­tains and forests.

All comments welcome, but please try to keep them on topic and relevant.
