Dear first-name, Thank you for sending your poems to december. Unfortunately, none in this group was quite a fit, but we enjoyed reading all of them. Each had compelling moments and lines ("[Title]" came closest), but none in its entirety mustered a consensus among our editorial staff. One of our editors noted, "[Personal observation]." We appreciate the support implicit in your submission and hope you’ll send new work our way again in the future. 
 All the best,
