Comment from Hayley Solomon

Excellent

Sounds interesting Steve, and good luck: the publication plight of a poet is passably and possibly painful!!!! (Trust me, I know!!) laughing Just one small snag.. you have a typo. I gave gathered together rather than have gathered together.

Hayley, thanks for that.

I'm not expecting best-seller status, but some of these pieces deserve more than just languishing in the tail-end of my portfolio.

Exceptional

Steve that's great are you go to self publish? I self published a book of poems back in Feb 2013 it was called "poems from the heart" I had 500 printed there were 100 poems 30 of which were "Picture Poems" meaning I published an image that inspired me to write the words it was a coffee table book of a selection of love and romance poems a few poems from the sea and a few philosophical ones.
Your selection of poems sound great and if its anything to go on as the example you have shown here It will be a success.

Dip, thanks so much for the kind words, the six stars and for sharing your own experience. I'm really just thinking of an e-book on Amazon at the moment, although the thought of actually holding a volume in your own hands is tempting.

Thanks, Pearl.

I had fun rummaging through my back issues and found a few forgotten gems in there... They deserve to see the light of day.

I like your prologue for your book, I have read some of your poems and have been moved by the way that they engage the imagination. Good luck.
