Who are the 500?
Another Vocal Milestone...
Note: this was written as a thank you to my readers and subscribers for helping me reach this significant number...and also an enquiry as to how I did it. Any thoughts?

Who are my 500?
Who are the lucky ones
to see my work and reply,
telling what they like and why
(occasionally a critique on my page)?
*
Is there something here
for every single reader; all done
as soon as I find the right words to share
with that bigger world right out there
(usually something worthy of that stage)?
*
Too many questions for you;
not enough of that old sort of fun
you commented on in my past
when I wrote something to last
(always attempting to try and engage)?
*
I thank you all for you words,
and hearts of valentine – all blacked ones.
I promise to keep my work coming through
and create stories, critiques, just for you
(plenty more of my joy and usual rage).
*
Thank you for reading!
