RE: An Ode to Mom, Robert Service, and The Cremation of Sam McGee
Hi @carolkean
I just wanted to stop by to let you know that I chose your excellent poem and commentary for submission to OCD's new community curation initiative, which you can read more about here.
Your poetry post has been featured in their community compilation of the best authors from a variety of the new hive communities.
The Ink Well is one of around 6 communities chosen to submit posts daily for both the ocd vote and inclusion in their publication. This is the edition you were recently featured in, which includes my review of why your post so impressed me:
OCD Daily: Community Issue #516
I'm really happy about this development for our community and hope you will continue to post your excellent poetry and fiction at The Ink Well as we're really impressed, and value great creative writing here.
All the best, and thank you for being an active contributor at The Ink Well :)
"Thank you" doesn't begin to cover it - I'm only sorry I didn't try harder to do better, to deserve this accolade! I'm excited to be a part of this community and to help other creators find their footing and dare to share their work with the world. How many are hiding, figuring "nobody will read this anyway" or if they do, "they'll just criticize me anyway" - thank you Storm and Raj for creating The Ink Well to combat our worst critics, ourselves!
