First of all, I would like to wish you all a Happy National Poetry Month.  During and after I graduated from university, I did submit some of my poetry on different publications and on my alma mater's literary review called The Oracle. They got turned down unfortunately. However, I did discover PoetryVibe and got good comments. I finally self published my book, The Eclectic Mind of Vee , and I might put it in audiobook. Hey! I might translate my poetry books in different languages. Anyway! Happy National Poetry Month!
