A thank you note

Creativity is infectious. Creativity fuels inspiration. Creative people are contagious. Creativity attracts hungry minds.

Creative geniuses on Medium are greatly admired. Whatever creativity I can muster, the credit goes to them. Creative minds on Medium are also so generous. Whenever they respond, it’s with the kindest comments.

They have thousands of followers with even more extensive views. Yet, the effort they take in creating the best responses is remarkable. They are thousands of miles away, but they understand the concept. Yes, in the half-baked ideas of my poems.

The themes and topics do not matter to them. They just want novice poets to be encouraged. The cultural differences, the age divide, or the ambiguous approach. They have been so gracious to read everything.

I’m humbled by everyone’s generosity. I’m floored by everyone’s creativity. I’ve learned so much about writing from them. I’ve learned so many forms of poetry from them.

Publications that accepted inexperienced poets-sincere thanks. Publishers that kindly edited and promptly replied-sincere thanks. Editorial teams who spend extra hours just to make us published poets sincere-thanks. Editors whose creative ways challenged us with different prompts-sincere thanks.

Thank you so much, Illumination teams. ❤️🙏❤️

This poem is just an attempt to thank everyone who has read my poetry, and I wish I could publish poems for each supporter; alas, I tried but could not succeed. Words cannot convey my heartfelt gratitude for being so kind to me and my modest contribution to Medium.

Forever grateful to all of you for taking the time to read and supporting my words. Stay Blessed, motivated, and live your life to the fullest. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
