I love you so much, my friend. There will never be a day in which I decide “I’m over this guy’s poetry.” Promise you that.

For more than 9 years I have savoured your words and danced in the rain of each of them. It has always been an honour to read and enjoy, to be a part of this community - to feel more like a friend than a fan - is truly a gift. No chance I’m ever going anywhere ♥️

While social media is how I discovered your poetry and kept seeing your poetry, poetry alone is “hard”- it makes you think. The meaning may not be there on the surface and social media really is a lot of surface. Unless one is going to stop- a lot of people might keep flipping and eventually unfollow. I got hooked- really hooked- on your words and thoughts when you started to include the prose to accompany your poems. It helped me to better understand the poetry. Like this post. I have a confession to make: I still have many unread previous posts. Why? Because I don’t want to rush through them. I will read one as I have the time to reflect and savour them. I re-read many posts that have particularly resonated with me. I can’t do that on social media because they are gone from the thread. Don’t be disheartened- the people who unfollow don’t represent what your words and ideas mean to the people who continue to follow.

I don't know why the mass exodus. But I know why the rest of us stay! You always write truth and your truth always comforts AND makes us yearn and shows us beauty and mess. It's lovely and we all hope you keep pouring. :)

Truth, honesty vulnerability has always been dangerous. In the currents of cancel culture it is only for those traveling toward eternity at terminal velocity.

We demand infallibility from those without wings.

You give of yourself whole heartedly, without reservation in a world taught to censor anything unfiltered.

We are not strong enough to look upon the face of gods.

You are brilliant and magical, Tyler! Please don’t ever stop writing and creating and sharing your magic with us. While we may not all be personal friends of yours, I know I feel like I know you and Sarah and can’t imagine not reading or seeing the magic you two share with me.
