[Valkyrie]

A place to discuss the annual poetry anthology or to ask questions about it.  Guidelines can be found here:

I’m in. I will say, well in advance, caveat emptor. This might be seen as a stretch, but it’s probably the most disturbing piece I’ve ever written. And believe me, I’ve written some disturbing stuff.

I'm not sure if you are aware of the new rules. But all poetry submissions must be sent to me first to enjoy them ahead of time. Thanks. I'll wait for your poem. .

I’ll ask @Valkyrie to let me know 10 minutes before she publishes it and send it to you then. I think that’s “ahead of time” enough.

If I would have known you'd go dark, I would have submitted something else. Mine is all about butterflies and fuzzy bunny slippers. I need to re-think my life.

I'm working on something for the poetry anthology now. Will do my best to get something submitted before the deadline.

I'm sure you saw, but the deadline is extended to April 6th

Quote

Here is mine. I think I did it right, but I didn't see the unpublish bar either. I believe I remember it was the same last time.  

Since @Headstall and @Marvin B both commented on this, I will take a look at the guidelines and revise them.  I think the same wording is in the annual anthology as well.  It's outdated since the site was updated since that part was written.  Thanks for pointing it out!
