A short poem (poetic prose) by Gabriela Marie Milton

In the rose’s tender clasp or jasmine’s whispered breath,

femininity and desire weave,

beckoning us to a passion refined—

vulnerable in its bloom,

triumphant in its essence,

resonating with the timeless spirit over fleeting flesh.

Just got the most exhilarating news to share with you – I was rewarded with a Seasonal Bonus by META (IG)

Just got the most exhilarating news to share with those who like my poetry – I scored a seasonal bonus from META! Imagine my joy, popping champagne in my living room, the colored bubbles mirroring the glow of my screen as I read the notification. This isn’t just money; it’s a high-five from the universe, a pat on the back for all the late nights and creative brainstorming days. It’s like META (IG) just handed me the key to a treasure chest of possibilities. I am not only an university professor. I am also the President of the Board of Directors of an NGO, and a publisher, as same of you may know already. Every penny I will make on this bonus will go to charity and I honestly hope will make more than $10. The bonus is based on the quality of my own content on IG and the number of likes and views. Please don’t rush to follow me on IG [LOL] @gabriela_marie_milton … Kidding, please do.

So here’s to new beginnings, to celebrations, and to the incredible feeling of being rewarded for your passion. Let’s toast to this moment, because if this is how the year starts, imagine how epic the end will be! #BonusSeason #META #DreamBig
