I liked how focused and simple this is.

It may look better if some sentences didn't break to a second line.

I wish I could pay per month. For me it's the principle, I want to try before I commit.

Since you can't control how I read email, how does this work? Do I visit a web page to read the poem, or do I read it from my inbox?

Great points. Thanks for the feedback.

I ended up deciding on yearly pricing to keep processing costs down. Each charge is .30 + 2.9%, so it's cheaper for me if I only charge once a year. Monthly pricing is something I'm going to have to really consider. Or maybe a free month to get started. Thanks for the perspective.

My email provider (Mandrill) allows you to choose whether you want to track opens on each email you send. I'm guessing they use some sort of tracking pixel. So you still get the poems in your inbox, but they watch their servers for if that pixel was requested.
