Thank you Alison! So happy you liked my poem and are sharing it — true to the message of the poem!
Medium is addictive. Wait until you join publications and participate in their writing challenges. If you haven’t already you may want to submit to some of my favorites:
Dennett gives us frequent challenges to fit big ideas into 17 syllables.
The first place I started submitting on Medium when I discovered the platform and which gave me more confidence to write. It was called The Weekly Knob back then. Sandy Knight was so welcoming to me as a new writer.
Centina Patina is one place you’ll love as the lead Editor for Fairfield Scribes. Before work and writing classes took up much of my time I submitted regularly to Bill Adler Editor and J.A.Taylor’s Publication.
J.A.Taylor also has another publication you’d love.
And then there is our friend, the lovely Lucy, Lucy Dan 蛋小姐 (she/her/她)with her fun challenges.
The comradery of writers is what keeps me on this platform.
When Medium changed its rules I almost left. I took down my curated pieces. But Mark Starlin convinced me to stay. Thank you Mark!
Medium is lucky to have a writer of your caliber and generosity to other writers. Glad you’re here. ❤️
