Have you heard about Medium?
Every writer is there, tons of readers too
You have such great talent
You’d probably get 700 followers in 2 weeks
It’s the place for you!
Within me, I wish I had just one fan
From any galaxy
One X; that reads all my poetry
And leaves comments
I wish I had just one fan
My brother, my husband, or my friend
Medium, who’s my X?

Must be the algorithm. No?
Post daily. Follow at least 100 people a day
Use a headline analyzer. Contribute to publications
Address your readers as you. Engage other writers
Okay.

The bell stays white
Medium didn’t cure it
No one’s staying
Family or Tribe
I wish I had just 1 clap

I wish I had just one medium fan
Just one, but an everyday one
I wish I had — You.
