I just got a new poem published at Haggard & Halloo publications.

[roughsatori]

Some of you may remember me. I started daily lurking the week DU started. Became a very active member. I now read DU every day--but rarely post. I just started submitting my poetry again. I had 5 poems accepted this week, one for a very good print press. The poem is at this link (Titled: "Who is this Spammer who knows."

Hope it makes you smile: http://www.haggardandhalloo.com/2009/09/08/who-is-this/

1. well done

and certainly gives me pause about how I've set my Spam filters.

I enjoyed it. Keep submitting! K&R! :kick:

5. Glad you enjoyed it

I guess it is a positive outcome. I started to feel an anti-gay equal rights sentiment at DU that made it hard for me to participate civilly. But it is nice to be getting published again. I just had a poem in "The South African Times" for Easter Sunday. Yes, nasty old me gets picked for an Easter Expression of love--Life is strange.

I'll think of you at Easter! Congratulations.

9. Thanks, it has been difficult

I had stopped publishing in the past because I am very private, and socially phobic. The Internet and DU have helped tremendously in opening me up to other human beings.

11. You're very talented.

I'm glad you've found a way to keep producing while maintaining your private life. :applause:

13. My dear roughsatori...

Congrats!

I love your poem!

I too have had some success getting things published. My first two went into The Bellowing Ark, last year.

If you're interested, check out my Journal. I regularly put mine there...

14. Thanks for the the concratulations and especially for loving the poem.

CaliforniaPeggy, congratulations to you too. I hate the whole submission process- but it is necessary. I will book-mark and read your Journal. Thanks again, Rough Satori
