The Sun rejected a poem I sent them. It's my third rejection from them in ten years. That's okay, it's just a love letter. And besides, I'll never forget how wonderful it felt the one time they accepted something - so I'll keep flirting.

WELCOME TO ROGUE-ALICIOUS
Whatever shows up here will be a gift to my kids in about 2020. It's my answer to scrapbooking about them and a glance at my writing and teaching life.
ROGUE
Rogue - The name of the farming and timber-producing region in southwestern Oregon. Its mild climate and relative isolation have made the valley a popular destination. The Rogue Valley's community of Ashland is famous for the Oregon Shakespeare Festival.
rogue [rohg] n. a playfully mischievous person; a scamp
No one likes a fellow who is all rogue, but we'll forgive him almost anything if there is warmth of human sympathy underneath his rogueries...

This is just opening you up for that warm acceptance letter you'll soon be getting from Brevity...
Oh, I wish...!
It's a nice love letter, though: tiny and vanilla-colored.
Yeah, the only thing that would make it better would be vanilla-flavored.
My 'amazing memory'
??? comes up with "Sun' publishing much of its works being often dark and depressing. Am I correct?
You just don't write what would appeal to their editors. It's their loss and their readers loss to not be able to enjoy any of your writings.
What did they print of your some eons ago?
When you were in B'Ham? Was it deep and dark???
L,

Hmmm... The Sun definitely publishes some dark and depressing stuff. It occasionally publishes whimsical stuff, too - but whatever they publish is usually thought-provoking and insightful. I published something in the Readers Write section that had to do with the theme "Change of Heart," and it was about a boy I knew in school and the different religions in which we were being raised.
