Thank you for 10K Reads

I was checking my stats today and noticed I had hit a significant milestone, 10,000 reads for my stories and poems. I was so astonished to see that I had reached this milestone as silently, and quickly, as I had that I almost went into shock. I checked my stats over the weekend and still had over 300 reads to reach the goal, so to have reached it so soon is a pleasant surprise.

This milestone does not belong solely to me, though. Without my constant readers, I would never have reached 10K reads, and all the thanks and glory goes to each of you. I may have written the words to each of the stories and poems, but you all read the words that were written. So with a huge hug, I want to say, “Thank you!”

My readers gave me

A gift like no other

They praised my stories

They loved my poems

Then they came back for more

Enjoying my tales

Relating to my poetry

They gorged on my imagination

Until they could eat no more

Then they came back for more

High on the praise

Buzzed on the compliments

I gave them what they wanted

Stoned on the accolades

Drunk on the kudos

I gave them what they wanted

Their addiction feeds my habit

While their dependency fuels craving

Creating a crutch between Reader and Writer

Each, the other’s dealer

Without one, the other wouldn’t exist

A rare relationship between the two
