They say that if you get a note
In actual pen and ink,
Written in the editor's hand
Than maybe you don't stink.
They say that if you get response
At all than that's a sign,
That maybe you are on your way
To being first in line.
But either way it's all the same
A pill or an injection,
And sugar just can't sweeten
One more positive rejection.

The one thing positive rejections do
ReplyDeleteis encourage me to try
and while I never like receiving them
I infer what they imply.
Good one Joshua. Thanks too! :)
ReplyDeleteAhhh, rejection. If only they'd go away! But if they went away, that means we've stopped trying. And we can't do that! Cute poem
ReplyDeleteLove your poem. Can certainly relate to it!
