    1000 posts reached today – thank you to my readers

    Today I reached 1000 posts! I’ve been blogging at WordPress since early 2019. It’s been a long and winding road, full of ups and downs, repetitions and calls and cries, but I have finally made it here, and without you all, this would have been a shriek to a bleak blacked out wall, nothing to be seen, heard or felt at all. So I thank you, my dear readers, for sticking around, and reading my words, even when they became choppy and mean, and they became untoward. You still stayed, you still remained, and for that, I love you until the morning light rises and the moon won’t go away. I am so grateful for every single one of you, please celebrate with me and enjoy in a little drink together with me, too.

  • Thank You!

    Thank You!

    I want to extend my sincerest thanks to you all: my blog now has over 400 followers! I am both so humbled and excited by this. I never would have thought when I started my site a year and a month ago that I would have so many fellow creatives interested in viewing my work. 

Thank you all so much for visiting my site, reading my words, and for your continued support throughout my time here at WordPress. I really appreciate that you have followed, read my blog and regularly visit. It truly means the world to me!

    Poem: Thank You – 27/06/20

    Sometimes I don’t feel like writing,
but something compels me
to create,
 
to dig deep beneath
the superficial,
to find something meaty,
or rich like marrow, 
a delicious read to taste.
 
Something tantalizing,
that the reader will
hunger for,
whetting the appetite,
will palatable words soar?
 
What can I create?
What can I make?
That will appeal to others
evermore?
 
It is my duty
with this pen,
to detail something
both truthful and meaningful
that cannot be ignored by them.
 
But, I can fail in this measure,
no matter the arduous
work and time
I put into a piece,
 
some works are destined to 
have little success,
some untoward qualities that
won’t beckon to thee.
 
I can’t please everyone
with my daily content,
although I will
thank you all,
those who remain,
those who decided to stay,
 
even those curious,
for a fleeting look,
I am so grateful
for your presence hereupon this day.
 
Please visit another time,
when you view the moment opportune,
to share in my thoughts,
up, up, and away.
 
I know sometimes
my words may be stale,
perhaps for you
they do not ring true,
 
but I’m only human,
with imperfections 
just like you,
and my words can
carry fault with them, too.

But I thank you for
your attention,
as I happily reflect
or share bittersweet disconnect,
 
and for allowing yourselves
to be an audience,
I am utterly thankful
that my words you continue to peruse -

I hope to see your inquisitive faces 
again very soon.
