I love see the before and after here! And you are totally right, the second one is definitely better. Love this. Maybe March needs to be workshopping month, where we all pick one or two favorite responses from February and polish them up. Suggestions from the group? And then we all submit at least one poem for publication somewhere, giving a nod to the Poetry Adventure. What do you think?
Thanks, Tara! March is "focus on the novels" month for Petra and I, but I also love the idea of polishing up some of our February Poetry Adventure poems for submission... 🤔
But I've been under the impression that nearly all publications don't allow submissions that have been "published" somewhere else, even a personal blog or newsletter. Do you know of some good places to submit that allow such poems?
I agree with Tara. The second one is better. And workshopping is a great idea. Normally, I wouldn’t do anything like that, but I don’t see any inclination towards brutality here.

I know Rattle doesn’t consider personal blogs or social media “previously published.” And I know I’ve seen others with the same policy

Thank you, Mary! And, yes, the Substack community is very supportive, as is the Poetry Adventure group.
