Hello poetry lovers,

Wrapping things up for another season, I’m thrilled to share my end-of-year recap with all of you! First off, a shout-out to the wonderful readers who joined my poetic journey, witnessing a remarkable 21.1% growth from 199 to 241 followers in the past year.

To those new to my blog, welcome! I make it a tradition to provide an annual update, sharing not only statistics but also a comprehensive recap of my year. Feel free to explore my past updates and non-poetry-related posts housed under my “Personal” category.

Managing this website for over half a decade now, I’ve generated a total of 357 posts. A sincere thank you to all the readers who have supported my passion!

Reflecting on my posts from the last year, I shared content from 2009, 2022, and the start of 2023. Stay tuned as I unravel the remaining episodes of 2023 in the coming posts. Here are some of the ideas that made their way into my poems this year:

It was a busy year, marked by personal milestones such as finalizing my divorce, conquering my second half marathon, and actively engaging in softball and bowling leagues!

I must confess, I might have immersed myself a bit excessively in Spotify! The auditory journey encapsulated in my Spotify Wrapped serves as a reference for those intrigued by the soundtrack of my year. Undoubtedly, music holds an influence over my creative writing.

As we turn the page on the calendar, warm wishes for a Happy New Year to each and every one of you. May the upcoming days be filled with poetic verses of joy, laughter, and the crescendo of dreams fulfilled.

Here’s to another year of poetry, passion, and endless possibilities! Cheers to 2024!
