---------70,000 Views!--From the Editor's Perspective--------



*************************************

Congratulations contributors on reaching 70,000 views!  This is your honor.  I receive emails all the time from people telling me how impressed  they are with the level of poetry at Whispers.  It is a gift to be able to work with so many talented writers.  Thank you for making our online journal a success.  I would also like to thank our readers, especially those that leave encouraging comments.  You give our words purpose and meaning.  Poetry is meant to be a shared experience.  I hope you continue to share or join in this journey.

Best wishes to all of you,

  4. I'm so honored a poem of mine is (s)elected in the September Edition of "Whispers" in the midst of such beautiful diversity in poetry. What I appreciate hugely: the quantity and quality of d i f f e r e n t poetical authors and the choices they make for submitting a poem and the editor keeping an eye (third eye too ;-) ) on the entries.......... This builds a poetical journal REALLY worth spending an extensive reading session... Many many Congrats Karen with this success.., and believe me - THIS is only the beginning!

  11. Dearest Karen, a couple of weeks ago when I saw that visits were about 69,000 I thought then, it won't be long and visits will hit 70,000. What a great milestone. Your work has been phenomenal with all of us and we are so blessed not only to be able to contribute to this wonderful community of poets, but most especially to know and work with you, one who cares so deeply about the progress of each of us as we grow in our ability to share poems worthy of being posted here on your blogspot. Thank you for all you do for us.
    Love, Charlene
