Rejection Letters

What do you like. I'm partial to the Berrigan responses. None of them thrill me. What do you think. Suggestions?



Berrigan

Thank you for submitting to alice blue. We appreciate your continued support and patronage. Unfortunately we were unable to find a place for your work in this issue. Sometimes this happens. Monkeys press switches and little babies freak out & cry, “pick me!” “pick me!” but it’s all monkeys here so don’t despair. More opportunities skitter towards you with alice blue hypodermics, ice water, and The World’s record for rapid eye movement.

Much love,

The editorial staff





Thank you for submitting to alice blue. We appreciate your continued support and patronage. Unfortunately we were unable to find a place for your work in this issue. Sometimes this happens. Don’t despair. If you stroke a cat about 1,000,000 times, you will generate enough electricity to light up the largest American Flag in the world for about one minute. And in any case. More opportunities skitter towards you with alice blue eyes and Mongolian sausage and a long, long stocking.
Much love,

The editorial staff

Thank you for submitting to alice blue. We appreciate your continued
support and patronage. Unfortunately we were unable to find a place for
your work in this issue. Sometimes this happens. Don’t despair. Comfort yourself with nostalgia; remember fondly an innocent past of perverted acts in pastures. We do. More opportunities sashay towards you with alice blue, blue eyes, vague blue like the sky, changing all the time, indiscriminate but fleeting, entirely specific and disloyal.

Thank you thank you.

Much love,
the editorial staff




Thank you for submitting to alice blue. We appreciate your continued support and patronage. Unfortunately we were unable to find a place for your work in this issue. Sometimes this happens. It means nothing. So pull the shadows around you like a puff and get back to work. More opportunities scramble forth, trailing their long elegant heels of hot air with alice blue eyes, crinkled as if at the most exquisite moment of a very long opera.

Tally ho!

Much love,
the editorial staff




Spicer

Thank you for submitting to alice blue. We appreciate your continued support and patronage. Unfortunately we were unable to find a place for your work in this issue. Sometimes this happens. A hundred crickets try to mine gold from the light in the rushes. But more opportunities scramble forth skimming the water like a huge Violet-colored mosquito. A hundred crickets try to mine gold from the light in the rushes.


Much love,
the editorial staff
