Hot News: New Milestone, the Highest Monthly Page Views and Call for Submissions

My Dear Friends:

I'm 😁😅😂 to share with you this GREAT news: NeverEnding Story reached another new milestone last month: the HIGEST monthly page views, 88,401, much, much more than those of its first year, 2013: 64,602. 

The last month was very unusual: a sharp/sudden increase in page views. I hope this means NeverEnding Story has become increasingly popular among poetry readers on Twitter.

I am grateful to everyone who has been a part of this poetry journey. 

this room reeks

of smoke, sweat, and whisky

as I squeeze my mind ...

five lines out into the dark

edge of a lonely heart

We [write] to know we're "not alone."

-- paraphrasing The character of C.S. Lewis in William Nicholson's play, "Shadowlands"

Look forward to reading your haiku and tanka (see haiku and tanka submission guidelines)

Happy Writing
