Hello poetry lovers,
Late as usual, but I am wrapping things up for another year I shared with you all! First off, a big shout-out to the readers who joined my poetic journey, witnessing an 11.31% increase from 283 to 315 followers in the last year.
To those new to my blog, welcome! I make it a tradition to provide an annual update, sharing not only a blog recap but also my year as a person. Feel free to explore my past updates and non-poetry-related posts in my “Personal” category.
Managing this blog for 8 years now, I’ve generated 513 posts. A sincere thank you to all the readers who have been a part of this journey:
