Top Story
A Poem
Top story
Oh what a glory
To wake up and see
You’ve beat an untold number of contenders today
Oh hooray
What a wonderful day
But the downside is once the dopamine high is gone
It is all you long for
To see
Is it me today?
Nope
Not today
But let me see what others have done
Does their writing inspire me?
Is this a picture I see something in?
Can I write something for one more small win
Oh well
Time to do what I always do
Write whatever comes to mind
And see what happens with time

Congratulations on top story :)
I love this! It's true, no matter Top Story or not, all we can do is keep writing and enjoy the process! Wonderful piece. Congratulations on Top Story!
It's a great little piece, and all we can do is try and try again. Fireworks go off when we hit a top-story.
I had feeling you were going to get Top Story, when I read it in Facebook group
Congrats on Top Story!🥳
Well that was perfectly said! Couldn't agree more. Congrats on the Top Story.
Impressive effort! Keep up the phenomenal work—congratulations!
Brilliant! Loved this, an irony indeed.
Well done on top story of course. <a href=“https://tuvanisovietnam.com/”>Tu van iso</a>
Don't get cocky! 😉
You nailed it. We all look for the attention. Someone to tell us we're on track. i check Vocal more than I check Facebook. A much healthier choice I think.
Perfectly relatable and a beautifully ironic win, congratulations.
So true! Also congrats on top story!
Congrats on the TS.
Why do we like having a top story? For me it’s because I feel seen and liked. I end up feeling important and like I matter. It’s a nice feeling. I’ve learned to carry those feelings and truths even when my “TS” moment runs out and hasn’t come again. I know I’m seen, I know I’m liked/loved, I know I’m talented, and I know I’m important. As are all of you! My story “Flame and light” and “December Snow & a Frozen Soul” touch on that. I also posted a piece asking for all you wonderful writers to “spam” me. Being unseen doesn’t mean you’re unworthy, it literally just means you haven’t been found/seen. Congrats on the top story! We all relate to it so well !!!!!
Congrats on your TOP STORY! :)
Only once in a..., what's that song? "Blue Moon...." On the bright side, my wife thinks they make a pretty good beer.
Absolutely. I keep trying and all too often, my work gets read less and less. What the heck am I doing wrong? Guess it just depends on when you post. Or at least that's my assumption. Congratulations on your TS. It really hits home.
Yup, that pretty much sums up the feeling of getting a top story and how you feel after the excitement wears off. Well done, and congrats on the Top Story.
