Editorial Rite Poem by Thomas Golding

The Editor regrets

he cannot use this work

The Editor regrets

It did not make the grade

We thank you

for allowing us

consideration of your verse
We thank you

for the courtesy

in sending the enclosed

It is not quite suitable

for publication

as it stands
It does not
fit the context

of what we wish to say
Kindly send more samples

at a later date

After you have read our Journal

if you would be so kind

We assure you

of our interest

in material

at all times

Sincerely yours
