If you read the meme above, you'll learn I've been around. <br /><br />I should add that I spent more years and energy supporting poets which subsequently affected my efforts to submit my own work. I love poetry and the poets who commit so much of themselves to their craft. Since we're talking about publishing, I'm equally happy to share that the publication I produced with my partner was critically accepted and respected by many and we are listed in the Poet's Directory 2003 or is it 2004. Anyhoo, loved the poets we published.LaTonya Baldwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17837979981517423142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-817118162155416984.post-21231933812619309052013-07-08T22:21:33.256-04:002013-07-08T22:21:33.256-04:00Just noticed you mentioned publication of this.

It's one thing to write "sexy," quite another to weave words that speak to the sensual in all of us. This is the type of poem that inspires one to take one's partner by the hand and light the candles...

Your poetry should meet any and all standards set, and I'm gratified to read that this has been published elsewhere.
