Beardedbruce,

So the modesty remarks really hits home? If you think your poetry is so good, don't wait for future generations to discover it. Send it out for publication and let peer review and editors determine what is good enough for publication. Sending it to a list and telling us how great you are is simply the sound of one hand clapping.

The difference between you and me is that I don't sent out my indifferent poetry. I, frankly, prefer to write to the other side of the page. The prose I have published is carefully crafted and polished, then goes through peer review, goes through a final editing, before it is published. I know it works for others because if it didn't it wouldn't get published. Pull up your socks, Beardedbruce, and see what the world has to say about your sonnets.
