I would like to thank everyone who reads Autumn Sky Poetry DAILY, and all the poets who’ve sent their work to me over the years. I never guessed I would be doing this for so long when I began publishing Autumn Sky Poetry back in March 2006 as a quarterly ezine. There have been several long hiatuses and a few times I thought I might quit publishing altogether, but the quality of work I receive on a daily basis keeps me going. The stats for 2021 are truly impressive and have exceeded every other prior year:
- Total views: 52,107 (average 4342 per month)
- Total visitors: 21, 434 (average 1786 per month)
- Likes: 1781
- Comments: 359
This year I intend to keep posting poems from the defunct quarterly archives every Sunday. And though I will probably go on a few breaks here and there, rest assured that your spectacular poems and our community of poetry aficionados will keep Autumn Sky Poetry DAILY going for many years to come.

Hi Christine, I can’t afford a subscription but I’d love to send you some money, however modest, because I have enjoyed Autumn Sky so much. Kind Regards, Richard Sund I’ll figure out how to donate – just wanted to express my appreciation .Sent from my Galaxy

Richard, I do not have a donation avenue and subscriptions are free because I fund this personally (my small contribution to the poetry community). Thank you for reading! I hope you continue to enjoy the daily poems.

Hi Christine. I did not know this. Maybe you’ll email me a way to gift you – a gift for your efforts having helped me so much with life’s painful realities this past year.

Congratulations and thank you, Christine! The stats are impressive – and kudos to you for gathering and sharing them – but more than that, it’s wonderful to “see” such a vibrant poetry community of poets and readers in dialogue.
