Thanks, Tremaine! I first caught sight of your work following Savanna’s In Two Minds, and I would have followed you much sooner if it weren’t for nerves. I still feel a bit new to social media; to Medium I’m relatively a toddler in terms of engagement and activity. Less than a month is all the longer I’ve been publishing here. So I felt I had to earn my stripes a bit before interacting. Judging by your heartfelt response (which I’m extremely humbled by, by the way; thanks for the props!), I think it’s about time I took the plunge.

Looking forward to writing and reading more on here! I’m hoping what comes next off my keypad rings as truly as this and the other poems do.
