Wow, what an accomplishment! By the way, I have only just noticed the wonderful grammar, surely it should read 'Only a small percentage of individuals whose poetry we have examined were selected' ? Or, was it only one and who was it? Mind you there's always the vague possibility that I could be wrong on this! Any GC's (Grammatically Correct as opposed to Politically Correct!) out there who wish to comment, please feel free!
Anyhoo, I present for ... whatever ... Bah! Humbug! My latest offering for the Memories of the Millennium, mind you as I still won't buy the book I doubt if I'll find out if it went in!

I suppose he, sorry 'we' is/are entitled to their opinion, but then so am I and so... the following was emailed to editor@bloodaxe etc...

Well, Neil, I'm very sorry, that you don't have the time To try to respond personally, hey Buddy, spare a dime! You seem to have so much to do, to edit and produce The stuff that you already have, my word Sir, Yeh! Forsooth! Ye Gads! If you had 25 or 26 or 7, More extra hours in each day, would you be then in Heaven? Perhaps you might just have the time to read just one or two You might miss another Shakespeare, maybe J K Rowling too! And as for reading other poets, really I must say, There is another gender like the evening and the day I wonder if you've ever heard, to say it is not hard Would I have to read anothers' quote if I were a Bard? A shame if you don't publish Bards, just poets that you know In touch with Literary Culture, oh my word a bitter blow! But what exactly is it that you speak of in that phrase? And if I went to soirees, I would surely be amazed If poets read all others works and base their style on that Could that be why when I read poems, most do leave me flat! Pontificating endlessly in prose that is split up On different lines, no sentences, transmogrifying crap! At least you had the decency to sign the thing yourself But, 'Dezr Kim Alexzndriz', just left me on the shelf! You switched twixt 'I' and 'We' , you did, your 'Y' a great big loop Don't worry, no graphology, no stereotyping you! You seemed to do it by yourself, without my help so well Could you possibly change your mindset, switch a light on, ring a bell? Just think on this and hold the thought, Bloodaxe has broken through Not only publish poets, but we publish Bards now too! Kind Regards Surprise, surprise, no reply has been received to date!
