Thank you's and apologies

For all of you who have read the many poems I have submitted on this forum, thank you for your patience with me. I hope none of you have been offended by anything I have written here. Also, I am sorry for the large number of submissions, as it does seem a bit "spammy." I had lots of them stored up before I began posting here, which is why there was a rapid-fire barrage of them at the end of last year.

Usually, my poems are written in the space of about fifteen minutes after thinking of a word or topic for a bit. (Kind of like a Bob Ross painting... ). That's one reason they aren't well-crafted and have rough edges. So, if you read them, please remember that. Also, as I tend to be a bit to the negative side on the pessimist/optimist spectrum, I know they can be a bit depressing. I'm sorry for that, as I don't want to bring anyone down. For me, writing these is a kind of self-therapy to express my feelings.

Anyway, thanks to all who have responded to them with recs and/or comments. I really do appreciate it.
