Congrats to everyone who has been having success with their poetry. It can be a hard sell, for sure. I have a couple of poems that were accepted for publication 10 years ago, waiting to appear in two of the larger children's magazines. Will they ever be published? Hope so! Both are seasonal, which might explain part of the reason why it's taking so long. However, I've recently had poems placed successfully in Ladybug, Pockets, & Fun for Kidz. I just received an acceptance from Cricket and had a couple of poems accepted by Schoolwide. I find it more difficult to find a home for my children's poems than I do poetry for adults. The likely reason is that there are fewer outlets for poetry in the kidslit world. There are many, many lit mags out there that accept poetry.
