There is no feeling quite like learning that a magazine you respect and enjoy reading has accepted something you have written. It feels as though you have been handed not just a bouquet but a whole wall of flowers. Though the poem itself has a distinctly autumnal feel, the news of its publication felt more like the merry month of May.
My poem, “When the Time Comes,” will appear in the Fall Issue of Third Wednesday Magazine, and it has already been published online, on the magazine’s website.

I love this description: “a cool balm” of words. Thank you!
Congratulations, Leslie! This poem is a cool balm for these HOT August days. Perfect timing for me to be reminded that soon all these things your words describe so well will fill our days!
