Top Target Reached

When I began the long, long, journey down the triond writer’s rocky path

I knew some days would frustrate me, incur my senseless wrath

There were going to be heart-aches, as I set myself the difficult, small task

Of succeeding as a contributor, it did not seem that much to ask

That people take time to view my writing, pass a comment if they would

Only feedback can help me to get it right, and I knew deep-down that I could

But nothing was quite what it seemed on the site, viewers were like hens teeth

In spite of the creative effort I put in each day, it seemed to beggar belief.

I posted each day, and promoted the efforts on social sites for all I was worth

Yet seemed that the viewing public were set on not giving me reasons for mirth

There were days filled with positive comments galore, but not those important clicks

That represented viewers looking at ads on, my posts. The whole box of tricks

Was not going according to plan, yet the views were starting upwards to go

New software I used was making a difference that was finally starting to show

I had set myself some targets when starting out, seven months before

Goals that depended on readers appreciating my writing efforts galore

Somehow, four months passed and  I was at five hundred posts , fifty thousand views

Viewers were gradually realizing that my work was the stuff they should choose

And finally, after an ocean of waiting, I laid to rest all those nagging doubt ghosts

When the one hundredth thousandth visitor clicked, on one of my brilliant posts.
