Hi Fellow Poet

First of all, let me thank you for the beautiful words that you’ve conjured up in this and another one of your poem titled Stay one more minute for readers like me.

I don’t know how I arrived at this post. I only remember that I was on a reading and highlighting spree. As a reader on Medium, I like to highlight certain portion of a story that I’ve really liked to appreciate and let the author know.

For example, I was inclined to let you know how I really liked these five lines:

When was the last time

You took a leap

And sorted the memory heap

Stood below a blue sky

With arms wide open and a smile

They are part of the same stanza in your poem. However, each line occupies a new paragraph and as it is, Medium Staff only allows highlighting within a single paragraph at a time. I understand how a stanza in a poem is different than a paragraph in a prose. Medium is built for the latter I suppose. I understand how a poem needs aesthetics of indentation for an elegant reading experience. One way of presenting a stanza in a poem would be to use Shift+Enter rather than Enter to better club together the lines like so:

When was the last time
You took a leap
And sorted the memory heap
Stood below a blue sky
With arms wide open and a smile

Excuse me for leaving such a nerdy response for such a petty request on such a pretty poem. It didn’t seem prudent to let good work be deprived of the easiest method of receiving feedback here on medium. Once again, appreciate your work. Looking forward for more.

Happy highlighting.
