what's in it for me

my goal is to write
words bringing you back to read
again and again.

dear reader, will you
come and share my words and world?
i crave your liking.

(This poem was written for Jingle Poetry's Poetry Potluck, week 21: Aims, Goals, and Ambitions.)

    You are exceeding your goals by massive measures.

    Maybe next time you need a "stretch goal," a challenging deal? :-)

    Thank you for sharing your world with this fan.
