I can't believe I started this community in December on my birthday the 13th how fast it has grown is amazing
Well somebody call the poetry police,
this little community wonβt decrease.
We started with a handful, maybe two or three,
Now 300 poets are hanging with me.
We got rhymers, dreamers, coffee in cups,
people posting heartbreak at three in the month
Okay, morning but poets donβt sleep,
we just write weird feelings and call them βdeep.β
Some write about love, some write about pain,
some rhyme βfireβ with βdesireβ again and again.
Some stare at a wall for an hour or two,
then post one line saying, βThis came out of the blue.β
But somehow it worked, and somehow we grew,
through every late-night poem and emotional zoo.
Now The Art of Poetry Community stands tall,
with 300 members and still room for yβall.
So thank you for building this wild little place,
where poets find family, laughter, and grace.
The journeyβs still starting, weβre rolling full steam
300 strong, and weβre chasing the dream.
