Big bow back to the editor in chief Damien B Donnelly @eatthestorms.com and sub-editor @rhonagreene.bsky.social for accepting my poem for publication within the forthcoming issue V of The Storms Journal. It somehow feels even more special, if that's possible, the second time round. Top of the world!
