At some point during the last day, my website reached a high of over 20,000 views.

I have been faithfully posting a poem a week since 2020 and, although I have never had a huge amount of traffic, I have steadily been gaining readership from all over the world.

This post is just to say Thank You. Thank you to everyone who has read one of my poems and thought, “that’s not bad.” Thank you to everyone who has shared a poem with a friend or through their socials. Thank you to all the people who subscribe to my site and thank you to all the people who regularly visit and “like” or “comment” on my posts. You have not gone unnoticed and my appreciation for your readership is one I feel deep in my heart.

I might never be famous or be able to survive on my creations alone, but 20,000 is a lot of views. Definitely more than I would receive at an Open Mic and definitely more than any book I’ve sold.  It makes me feel like maybe, just maybe, there are people out there who listen to what I have to say. And maybe those people, might actually get something from my work. I suppose that is all I ever really wanted.

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!

I hope you continue to follow, read, and interact with my creations as long as I am able to create. Please comment, like, share, and let me know that my work matters, even if it’s just one poem, one idea, one feeling. It really means a lot.
