poem before you might go out dancing tonight

From the new issue of The Broken Plate. A poem by Ryan Ridge.

Acceptance

Dear Ryan,

We enjoyed reading your poems. They were fun, but unfortunately they didn’t work for us, so we’ll have to pass. However, we would like to have you over for dinner next Tuesday at 6 pm.

Sincerely,

Mom & Dad

      Acceptiness

      Dear Mr. Ridge,

      I read your poem “Acceptance” for free at an online literary site, and I enjoyed its piquant (albeit brief) charm and poignancy. As I’m neither a publisher nor a philanthropist, that’ll have to be the end of that. I do look forward to reading more of your poems for free.

      Yours truly,

      deadgod
