In September 2020, during the pandemic, I started this blog. I wasn’t sure if anyone would read it, but I knew I needed to share my words and was hoping others would share their poems with me. Before the blog, my poems were tucked away between my journal pages. Reading and writing poetry is a big part of my life, and with much time on my hands, I began wondering what if the poet of that poem that brought me so much joy, understanding, or just plain entertainment didn’t share it with me?

It turns out others were on the same quest to read, write, and share poems! Poetry Pop is still growing, but I’m happy to share the stats with you:

• 81 posts
• 28,715 words written
• 55,338 views
• 263 likes
• 116 comments
• and a partridge in a pear tree 🙂

As we say goodbye to 2022 and ring in the new year, I want to thank you all for joining me in putting a little pop of poetry in your day.

Happy Holidays!
