Poetry

Castaway by Kevin Heaton

Thank you for extending
to me the opportunity
to subscribe to your
literary journal. I have
           thoroughly
reviewed the work
published in your journal
and have
           determined
that it does not fit
my current aesthetic.
This does not mean
your work is
           inferior
or is
           lacking
in laudable characteristics.
I receive three to four
hundred subscription
submissions each year
and avail myself of less
than one percent. I wish
you success in placing
your work with other
writers.
