Success is surely
....................so seldom in number.
Five hundred verses
.............though not seen as great
Is some achievement
.......................which I now venture
To note and admit
....................makes me celebrate.
Getting there proved
........................... a marathon effort
With mountainous rejects
.................................... to relegate
Though just a few appear
............................ worthy of status
I still feel determined
.................................. to celebrate.

'Congratulations' as 'Quiff Pilchard' once sang. I think you're being a bit harsh on yourself in the last three verses Fay. I have often enjoyed your work, and visit regularly to read your inspired poems. In terms of rejections, I would take them with a pinch of salt. Best Steve
