Thanks to the readers who leave reviews. You are a great encouragement to this newbie. Special thanks to the readers who leave reviews. I'm a newbie here at AD and the number of reviews and words of encouragement I have received is very much appreciated and very helpful to me. Thank you all.
I post a few poems and in a few hours I have a few reviews. I can't tell you what a wonderful experience this has been.
Sure, I write most every day. Most are clunkers, some can be repaired, and once in a while something comes out whole and shining. My poems "Secret" and "Joe" are recent examples of the magic I am trying to describe. Both of poems were flashes written in longhand about as published, and both received multiple favorable reviews quickly.
Although the poet writes, the stark truth is that the poems belong to the readers, not the poet. To see the confirmation of this in a few hours thanks to AuthorsDen and the internet is magic compounded. It's beautiful.
