I reject your words,
the words you wrote,
to reject my words,
the words I wrote.
I pinned up the letter,
the letter you wrote,
that dismissed the poem,
the poem I wrote.
Publication suitability,
the reason cited,
the editorial prerogative,
to question why I’d write it.
A poem of darkness,
hatred and lies,
corruption uncovered,
and media spies.
I had opened my heart,
to Horse and Hound magazine,
to comment unbiasedly,
on the Leveson Inquiry.

I love the first 2 stanzas a lot, and the explanatory stanzas thereafter. I am curious why you broke from the rhyme scheme in last stanza–beyond needed expression. Great work. I accept it wholeheartedly!

Thank you for reading… Kind of a sardonic poem about a non-existent submission…I don’t think Horse and Hound would ever publish a poem about the Leveson Enquiry, but I could be wrong..Just a bit of a jokey nod at Horsegate!
