An online friend threw me a Lifeline
Yes a much needed friendly hand,
But it’s now turned into so much more
With a Medium publication he began.
***
I’m sure it’s going to soon be seen
As a favourite hangout for our thoughts,
A place our words will flow in safety
From numerous writers as it’s source.
***
So please look up this new space
Especially if you find you need,
To bare your soul in poem or prose
Amid a safe harbour guaranteed.
***
There’ll be no judgement of your words
Actually it will be the opposite in fact,
You’ll find support and encouragement
A welcoming safe place to interact.
***
The atmosphere of the people
This publication is likely to attract,
Is one of friendship and acceptance
That other groups may so lack.
***
So press the follow button
So you don’t miss a single thing,
Sign up now as a writer
And let your words flow and sing.
***
Lifeline may only just be starting
Meaning you get in on the ground floor,
You can take pride in its’ growth
As it turns into a pub we adore.
***
So come on now and step on up
A great new publication is abound,
So come on let’s catch a ride
And show others what we’ve found.
***
Lifeline is a name to remember
Lifeline is stretching out a helping hand,
Lifeline is a sacred space
And a publication soon to be in demand.

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.
