Submission Rejected

[pelegrino]

I posted this poem in the main forum a week ago but it was rejected with the following explanation. I don't understand it. Usually I post all my poems with tags and arrows between them which to me represent hierarchical degrees important for longer constructions, and they get accepted. Something changed, does anyone know?
thanks for any help.

MYTHOLOGY >> CELTIC >> ISOLDE

BRANGAINE

Brangaine, a fanciful young maid,
egger and lusting to be laid,
knew of love potion number nine,
watching her mistress in full sway,
she used this trick in a shrewd way,
Isolde and Tristan to entwine:

"Isolde must not remain chaste,
marrying to Mark seems such a waste,
Tristan must do her here and now,
a virgin-not tomorrow night,
Mark will find out and in his spite
will scold her compromised vow.

Therefore I’ll give them this love potion,
now that this ship is still in motion,
and drive them to eternal lust,
but more than that, I'll deputise
for her, with Mark between my thighs,
tomorrow night I'll have my blast!"

The night was dark, the sailors sleeping,
no one took notice of her creeping,
a single man was in the stern,
the potion mixed into the chalice,
she gave to them without malice,
saying, "drink some wine for a good turn!"


*****
Simple but effective this design,
they drunk love potion number nine,
and they stood by the gunwale,
without a word her skirt was raised,
touching his dick she was all crazed,
her first cognition of a male.

He pierced her in an upwards thrusting,
her legs wide open re-adjusting,
she grabbed his bum and pulled him in,
her broken maidenhead still bleeding,
did not impede her joyful speeding,
he matched her pace with a broad grin.

So up and down this vessel sailed,
upon his pecker deep impaled,
till she was flooded with his cum,
chortling she muttered, "What a quickie!
But now let's do something more tricky,
just put me down and whack my bum".

If it was rejected from the poetry file, it wasn't being accepted to post to the discussion board. It's just as published here as it would be in the poetry file. You've circumvented the site's privilege to select or not for its site.

Anywhere you want to use an angle bracket, replace them with the following:

>

or

<

Those are the ascii codes for > and < They'll automatically be replaced in the preview and final posting by the appropriate symbols. You just type them into the text or find/replace the angle brackets.

The line you're using them in would look like this when you paste it in.

MYTHOLOGY >> CELTIC >> ISOLDE

That should get the submission through with the symbols in there the way you want them.

Thank you both for the advice KeithD and RejectReality! Much appreciated.
