I awoke this morning to find that the number of you has grown beyond the 5,000 mark.
I am frankly amazed – rather speechless – and full of gratitude. I only hope I can continue to hold your interest in the days to come.
Knowing that so many talented creative people choose to read my poetry means more to me than I can adequately express. Thank you, one and all, from the bottom of my heart.
– Paul
Love the painting; Love the thoughts . . . Believe me, Paul, you give far far more than you receive in acknowledgments and praise for your fine poetry . . . Thank YOU!
