I was informed three years ago that I was going to be published in a book. I was happy, and told my family and friends. Everyone was estatic. I was looking forward to being a real poet.
I thought I was on my way when I started recieving invetations to poetry conventions across the world, but I did not have the money to go, but was excited they invited me.
I've put my best poetry on their web site, and not one has been turned down for publication. But, not one has won a prize, either.
I started getting curious when I was at their web site, and it always said the book was comming out in about three monthes, when it said it six months ago.
I feel as if I've given them my deepest thoughts, and my talent, and they've used it for themselves. Making money on books, and such.
I feel since they are using my poetry, I should get something out of it. Recognition would be nice. It's just to good to be true.
