Rejection Notes Poem by Cristin Aptowicz

notes on rejections
almost there, but no
not quite, not these, so close

top ten percent
really tempting, but I'm gonna have to pass

focus more on language, less on story
horrible

like a text book, meaning it sounds like you've copied this out of a text book

addresses the theme, but so what

no
not good

so funny, i actually laughed out loud at some lines. but no.

sorry. im sorry. sorry. we're sorry
try again, keep on submitting, the theme of our next issue is failure
and it seems like you might have a lot of poems about that.
