I'm thinking about trying to publish a poetry book, but wanted to know what

people thought of my works first.? I thought giving one example would be enough to give others enough to know my works. Please tell me if you honestly think I can publish my work. If you hate, please tell me all the same. Here's my poem, "Seal Beach"

The seals roamed the rocky shore, splashing and squirming like a fish caught on a fisherman's pole.

Their skin as rough as shattered glass, yet as smooth as a baby's face.

Their scent, their illusive trace of joy, sweeter than roses and stronger than wet paint.

Their voice, their glorious yawn of freedom, their empowering roar of glory.
 
DEFINITELY YES!

Beautifully and carefully observed, the images have sound, texture, smell, tactile allusions - wow!

It's haunting. You've caught a feeling, a place, and a connection to a moment that resonates very strongly for me.

Do at least take this and some other pieces and issue your own chapbook.
