I have to agree with another comment to you: "You are far from being a novice-poet.

Very well done!.

Hello ... this is Fred.

I found this and other Medium articles that you've written when checking out your Home page for the first time.

I notice that you write on a variety of topics which is a good sign of someone who is 'thinking' about life in general. many of your articles are very long though (in Medium-reader terms), ands i would suggest that you keep your articles to 5 or 6 minutes average to ensure more 'reads'.

By-the-way, thank you for deciding to follow me … I really appreciate that.

I am happy to become one of your followers too.

Have you spotted my Index to Fred’s Story Collections, pinned close to the top of my home page?

If not, do check it out … I hope that you enjoy what you find there.

Your new Medium friend,

Fred
