I wouldn't worry about it, Keith, easy mistake to make. And a nice poem btw. "Falls as a gift of life"... I love that. :) New calls for poetry submissions pop up all the time all over the net! I'll go look over the next few days and see what I can find to add here. I've been meaning to do that anyway. :)

Keith, I just looked at the thread you're talking about. They are accepting submissions even though that particular deadline is long gone. This is their current themes. Always look at the website's submission guidelines there for the most up to date information and how to do so.

http://barrierislandsreview.com/html/submissions.html

 

Barrier Islands Review accepts themed submissions in addition to regular submissions. The themes are as follows:

  

Issue 7: Tropic & Meridian          Deadline: March 15

 

Issue 8: The King                  Deadline: April 15th

 

Issue 9: Myths, Legends, & Folk Tales Deadline: May 15th

 

And this is their regular poetry submission guidelines:

POETRY Barrier Islands Review is also looking for well-written poetry. As with fiction, we're not looking for sentimentality, but well placed emotion doesn't hurt. Poetry may be on any subject and in any format, but special attention will be paid to traditional and invented forms. However, content should never be sacrificed for form. Submit up to six poems for consideration, up to 100 lines each.

Thanks for your comment.I've never tried to write before,and I'm trying to decide if I should keep trying.My friends and familly aren't into poetry,so I have resorted to asking strangers for their opinion.I'm very pleased that someone read my poem and actually thought about the words.Thanks again for taking the time.
