Dear Trace,

Thank you for submitting to Diode. We very much appreciate the opportunity to read your work.

We read your poems with interest however, we decided that they do not meet our current needs.

We wish you and your poems the best and thank you again for thinking enough of Diode to send us your work. It means a great deal to us.

Sincerely,

Patty Paine
