When I wrote it... I didn't expect much at all.
JoyWhen I wrote that I truly desired, I truly wished I could see that happen for everyone. To be quite honest, I really didn't (and still don't) think it was one of my best poems. In fact, when I was going to post it I thought 'I wonder if I'll put this in scraps later...' and 'I'm in such a writing slump...'
I am most fond of powerful metaphor and complex imagery and don't find myself very satisfied with my own poetry that often. I am still not satisfied with this poem and yet, I signed in to check up on Deviant Art the very next day to find that I had received 25 favorites overnight. I thought... "How did this happen?"...okay okay... more like "HOLY SHIT ON A STICK". I was stunned. I was overwhelmed.
I had tons of favorites from users who didn't really watch me along with a handful of comments. I looked and saw one comment there. =th3krimzon1 (My DA big brother!). Featured it for me. AND Suggested it to be a Daily Deviation. Oh my god, thank you. I really don't think it will be a Daily Deviation. I really don't think it's that good, but I am so honored that you liked it THAT much.
Now it is at 37 favorites. It's now THE most popular poem in my gallery. I am truly touched and surprised that such a simple poem has touched so many. I am pleased that it has spread like the love, the affection that I hoped for when I wrote the poem.
Here I write a poem about spreading affection and what does it do? It TOUCHES people. It made people feel touched and loved. My HOPE of LOVE that I WROTE about in that VERY poem touched a handful of people...
And and... I should stop writing now before I become so sappy that you guys get a sugar high.
