We’ve come to the end of our second full month at NCiR’, and we’re as busy as ever.

Here is a recap of milestones crossed this past month …

  • 64 poems published, by 29 different authors.
  • Introduced to the world a brand new offshoot of poetry, the Milk Carton Haiku, and the response was so positive that we added a dedicated MCH tab to our homepage.
  • A triplet of whimsical 4-by-4 rhymes, by the NCiR’ editorial team, on the topic of wrists. You’ll find them below.
  • Most applause: this FML piece on the DMV, 1700 claps and counting.
  • Curated into 2 categories — Poetry & Humor: this quintet of limericks.
  • Had my first real life meet-up with a fellow Medium writer, and one who contributed two of the poems below! Another is in the works, and I hope that many more such meetups will follow.
