My style of writing is not normal thus rejected. I said I would no longer submit pieces for others approval but it is just so fun to received rejection notices so I started submitting again. Here are the rejected for this past week:
The first is titled – Unwelcome. It was written to show today’s women’s march in Washington to show how women have to struggle. All women were welcome except those against abortion.
Unwelcome
Wanting attraction, bound to molecule and atoms
Physical boundaries separate charged and uncharged
Fuck, Shit, Cunt, Bastard…
Repelled by words to accept
Birds, Joy, Paradise, Flowers…
Editorial appeal, rejected readers, no, never a real poem
Exposing hypocritical bias of mundane/extreme
Placing definition where definitions remain – defined
Poem of poetry transcends acceptance or rejection
It knows no bounds
No lines
It is reality of what lays in the heart of truth.
This next is titled – Memory of a Poem. It was written to show how a poem is truly similar to everyday life. It shows how editors use their own bias to pick what is and what is not poetry.
Memory of a Poem
It lived in creation, there sitting on the edge of the mind begging to come in
Caressed with formulation; idea filled; realty then.
Alive now, a word, a way; expression released
People and world see, feel, smell, live, with time.
Visible for everything and all
Emotions full of such range
Joy, anger, happiness, hate…
Then it is over, a new poem becomes alive
Old to move away.
Old guard
New guard
Poetry
Really never alive, never does it die…
Poetry represents the mood, the mind of the people
It is in them the fate of a world
Decides…
This next is one to show attacks, Mauled Minds
Mauled Minds
Animals walking, jogging, running, fleeing; engaged momentum
Physical daily moments pass…
Presidents sworn in, swearing begins as it finishes.
Kings. Queens. Dictators. Leaders.
Chosen by moving.
Nothing static in this world, as it falls, as it leaps
Giving names only gives reality reason
People try and hide
behind their own illusions.
Many spend life running in their minds.
Living to die,
Dying to live
Vicious track it spins.
The next pertains to a man Obama pardoned. A traitor who decided he was a she. A traitor is still a traitor. It is titled, Man Up.
Man Up
Simple times of cave, fire, waiting around to be devoured
Lost battles, spoils of war to the victor grew
Evolution of war, country, and castle.
Courting with bliss and destruction
Complications now with all parts
Communication, education, liberation, even war.
From past to forward
To where we are now
Man: Upside-down.

I never trusted or liked pro-life activists.
Even at college I thought them too earnest and too religious. I thought the shocking images they showed were manipulative.
I distinctly remember my argument: A heart transplant is gross to look at, too. I don’t want to look at pictures of that, and heart transplants are brilliant. So back off, pro-lifers with your scary pictures.
I also didn’t trust the provenance of the pictures; I was sure they had been photoshopped.

If the anti-abortion position was so strong, it should be able to argue without resorting to emotionally manipulating its audience with fraudulent horror pictures.
Once you have this mentality, it’s very easy to completely dismiss pro-life activists. And the universities of the world are teeming with young people just like that young person I once was.
Fast forward to April 2013 and Kermit Gosnell’s trial in Philadelphia, when everything changed.
Nothing in the intervening years had shaken my feelings on the subject.
But the images shown in the courtroom were not from activists, they were from police detectives and medical examiners and workers at the 3801 Lancaster Ave. clinic.

The expert testimony describing “good” abortions was from OB/GYNs who had been performing abortions for 30 years. The witnesses swore an oath to tell the truth and to present the evidence, and they did, under pain of penalty for perjury.
What they said and the pictures they showed changed me. I am not the same person I was.
Abortion arguments from pro-abortion advocates tend to avoid any actual talk of how an abortion is done and what exactly it is that is being aborted. I know a lot about both now.
I now know that what is aborted is a person, with little hands and nails and a face that from the earliest times has expression.
>>> Purchase Ann McElhinney and Phelim McAleer’s book: “Gosnell: The Untold Story of America’s Most Prolific Serial Killer”
The humanity in all the pictures is unmistakable, the pictures of the babies that were shown as evidence in the Gosnell trial—first, second, and third trimester babies, in all their innocence and perfection.
I also know that in a proper, legal abortion, babies are poisoned in their mother’s womb by injecting a needle filled with potassium chloride into the baby’s heart. Then the baby is suctioned out in pieces.
If the baby is bigger, forceps are used to pull it out in pieces—an arm, a leg, the head often torn from the torso. If the head is too big to pull out, the abortionist makes a hole in the base of the skull and the brain is sucked out to collapse the skull so the head can come easily.
That’s how it’s done when it’s done well.
Reading the testimony and sifting through the evidence in the case in the research for this book and for writing the script of the movie has been brutal. I have wept at my computer. I have said the Our Father sitting at my desk.
I am no holy roller—I hadn’t prayed in years—but at times when I was confronted with the worst of this story I didn’t know what else to do.
I have had a profound sense of the presence of evil in the actions of Gosnell and his staff and their complete lack of conscience. Most disturbing of all is the banality of the evil; in the clinic they joked and laughed amidst the carnage.
I am absolutely certain that the dead babies spoken of in court were unique people whom the world will now never know. I hope this book and the movie go some way to mark the fact that they lived and in their short lives made a difference.
Time will tell. This story can change hearts and minds; it has mine.

Ann McElhinney. What a wonderful human being. I just watched her in an interview and it was more than wonderful to see some more hope for your world.
Abortion is wrong on so many levels it is beyond amazing to even start and justify any reason for it.
Are you for abortion? If you are, that’s okay, you’re ignorant and stupid. It is okay to be ignorant and stupid. Embrace it, but if you decide to be worthy of being intelligent, compassionate, or even smart, you can change your mind.
If you’re against abortion, you are a part of why I find some hope for your planet.
Children are wonderful. They are joy. They are life.
Social blabber of, “Who will take care of the child, you?” or “Rape. You expect the mother to raise the product of the attacker? or “The health of the mother is at stake…” All ignorant and stupid statements. A verbal/mental ‘alka seltzer’ to sooth the acid of your choice to kill. And that’s okay, because you are human you are a killer…
Ann, you’re a wonderful woman and I applaud you. Keep your convictions and faith and maybe, just maybe, some ignorant stupid people will evolve. Doubtful, but some will as evolution goes both ways and in the end I know it will succeed with wonder while leaving the bones of the ignorant and stupid in the dust bin of history.
