American Sign Language for “Friends” by Nancy Rourke

 

Dear Readers,

It’s time I take a brief pause from poetry in order to acknowledge you – the amazing members of my WordPress community. As of this fine early spring New Hampshire morning, I find that more than 8,000 of you have chosen to follow this blog.

We contemporary poets and authors are blessed by a modern technology that allows our words to reach so many appreciative eyes. The personal connections and friendships made possible by the internet are, for me, a continuing source of encouragement and inspiration.

It is impossible to adequately express just how much you all mean to me. All I can do is promise to keep writing poetry, as best I can, and hope you will continue to enjoy what you read here.

Meantime, I take this moment to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all that you have already given to me.

Affectionately,
Paul

  7. Bless you Mr Lenzi! Wonderful to hear how so many are reading your poetry, sir. A well deserved following. You are an inspiring individual with a gift we cherish (and would jealously covet if we didn’t all adore you so much). I appreciate your support and friendship as much as I admire your magnificent writing. Long may you continue! Sincere best wishes from baldy xx

  12. Words of wisdom Lenzi. We are so fortunate today. Our predecessors were not given to such great opportunities. They had to toil to see their work in Print. Today even trash not even worth publishing is readily published. Thanks to technology.

  29. …Your presence is a Blessing, Paul…I was fortunate to have crossed writing paths with you when I first began WordPress…I wrote to give myself life and communication with others…to step outside of my isolation…and YOUR WORDS brought me and still bring me comfort many, countless times! Your acknowledgment of my writing–when I see your Photo there saying you LIKE what I write—I am deeply honored that you take the time…and you have offered me prayers and encouragement, Paul….for all of this and your great writing, I thank you!
