Your Value vs. How I Treat You

Call me “kind” one more time—

Dear pockett dessert, please understand how sincerely I enjoyed your poem; it spoke to me on many levels, shallow and deep, and so I soared with it—

Oh, yes.

It belongs on every one of these lists, and you know it—

Unless you say I have a “loose screw”?

Perhaps some of these list designations reference my personal life experiences, thus rendering them incomprehensible to anyone else.

I doubt it.

Either way, I can admit to occasionally playing a little loose with the definitions!

I just love handing out those backlinks, connecting writers on the lists, coming back to read stories again another day— every now and then, someone’s day is made by the friendly notifications, and that makes everything better.

This is the best way I could conceive in the moment of showing my honest appreciation for a piece which, in the moment, held all the meaning in the world to me.

Again — you. are. appreciated.

I’m grateful for your appreciation of the reality in which we are, particularly where I am benefitted by your work then deeply compelled to express it.

Just leave kindness out of it, and I think we’ll get along fine.

Or, do whatever you want; you know where I stand.

In all cases, you have my love and gratitude.

Take care.
