Some recent original poems of mine

So I’m getting published. My second attempt and I got my yes, which just tells me to keep on doing what I’m doing. The success rate of poets getting published in a magazine is roughly 5-20%.

And I did it.

In the realm of poetry, the journey to publication can be arduous but rewarding. With only a 5-20% acceptance rate for submissions in literary magazines, each success deserves to be celebrated. Through my experiences, I've realized the importance of persistence and community. Joining groups like the #poetrycommunity not only opens doors for collaboration but provides invaluable support during creative blocks. Additionally, my Discord offers a safe space for poets and artists. Here, we host virtual open mic nights for sharing work, feature art galleries, and provide tips for submitting your pieces to publishers for free. Engaging with fellow creatives enhances your work and broadens your perspective. Whether you're looking to develop your manuscript or seek collaboration opportunities, connecting with others is essential. Let's embrace the challenges and triumphs of poetry together!
