A few months ago, I submitted one of my poems to the online magazine Teen Ink. Today I checked my email, and I got a message saying that my poem is going to be published in an upcoming issue of their magazine!!! Here's the poem - http://www.teenink.com/poetry/all/ar...7/I-want-this/

I can't believe it. !!

IndiSoul,
I am not a poetry expert and really wouldn't know a good poem from Mother Goose. But all I know is if a particular piece of work moves me when I read it and yours does. So, I guess it is a good piece of work?

Wholehearted congratualtions in reaching one of your goals and well done! I am so happy for you. Your sense of accomplishment must be tremendous!

IndieSoul,
One of my poems was published!!

I read your poem....quite inspirational....very deep emotions. You are quite talented at such a young age. Having your poem published is quite an accomplishment. A lot to be proud of, & a lot for you to be going through to even b able to express those feelings.

Thank you for sharing this exciting moment in your life,
Debbie

Congrats hun, I am sorry that someone gave your poem a poor rating.
For the record I rated at 5 out of 5, it's a good poem.

hahahahahahaha Turns out the person who rated it poorly was a friend of mine from another forum. He tried to rate it a 5 but it wouldn't do anything, so he thought that he had to click on each individual star.

*relief like I've never felt before coursing through my body*

I just gave you a well deserved 5 star rating. Hopefully this will offset your friend's error. 1 star would have bothered me too!
