I have spent two nights and a day in the hospital and will be here at least several more days. So, I may be able to make progress accepting and rejecting poems for future issues of the magazine, but won't be able to do anything more on the upcoming issue until I get out.

I am making some progress, but and the quite weak. I will try to respond two messages, but will be slower than usual.

Rejection

I submitted
To the most prestigious venue
But ended up stuck in the slush
That was my world!
Earth was a great planet
But now it will never get a chance to shine.
It has problems; I'm new at this business.
But despite its uncontrolled
Changes (it won't sit still)
And the recent infestation.
(I promise I'll get rid of them soon).
It really has potential.
At least
That's what I think
