[New-Poetry] Lifshin Syndrome

How about 4. I love to write poetry, and what else should I do with it when I'm finished with it but send it out to others??

No harm in that. I'm being too hard on her, I'm sure. There are far worse foibles than excessive poetry publishing.
The interesting thing is that one person can't keep up anymore. With both online and in print journals, even if you 
tried to overwhelm the system with submissions, you'd wouldn't make a dent.?You'd have to have a studio full of 
apprentices pounding away on keyboards in two shifts per day to even get noticed anymore or to make onesefl a 
nuisance.
