That's What it's like to be rejected

Trashed from two magazines in the last two weeks. For legal reasons, I will not name the magazines directly. X(1) rejected 3 poems. X(2) rejected the same 3 poems, rewritten. They [X(2)] were, however, more helpful, offering the following:

Thank you for sending us "3 poems". We appreciate the chance to read
it. Unfortunately, we're going to pass on it at this time. Please refer
below to the editor's notes as to why.

Editor's notes:
Unoriginal subject matter
trite wordings
cliches

Thanks again for you submission.

I doubt the "thanks".
