>> Bill,
>> Cute quatrain.
>> I got Poets and Writers for years when I could see. Now I get it on the 
>> web,
>> but it does not have all the articles, but news of all of there services,
>> contest deadlines, and much more. I also get "Poem a day, and keep a 
>> folder
>> of all those I think worthy.
>> I tend to not like poetry that is non-accessible, which many MFA's write.
>> Some are very accessible, but not the majority.
>> I think it is a club, which once you have that credential, there are 
>> certain
>> recognizable aspects to your poetry that qualify you to get teaching
>> positions and win awards, which serves to strengthen the market for 
>> MFA's.
>> It is very expensive to go this route.
>> After reading the poem-a-day, I always open the author link and hear the
>> background. Most have MFA's and many of the old traditional poets do not.
>> Happy for your interest in poetry.
>> Jackie

>> Good day again.
>>
>>
>>
>> Following my discovery of the Poets & Writers mag I was inspired to write 
>> a
>> short verse.
>>
>>
>>
>> I was reading an article on debut poets and noticed most of these folks 
>> have
>> an M. F. A. degree, which made me feel a bit out of my league.  So here's 
>> a
>> short ode to those of us who don't have all the formal training but still
>> find creative inspiration.
>>
>>
>>
>> I am of the rabble.
>>
>> My words may sound like babble.
>>
>> Sometimes they have the spirit of a rebel,
>>
>> And stir the waters as if a tossed pebble.
