Show and Tell

Show and Tell

I posted this poem today (5 Jan 2012) and after a couple of hours I removed it because I was encouraged to submit it for publication in a poetry magazine. Problem is most do not publish poems that have been previously published, including online. I apologize for the inconvenience.
