You can have my heart like SEO to Google, but that's all I can offer as thanks. Maybe a poem or two, from me to you.

Passion & Happiness
I refuse to be afraid to make sacrifices to do what I love. I refuse to wake up the morning to drudge through my day. Those who are willing to cut themselves open for what they love are commendable.
Anyone who is passionate is a poet in their own right.
Poetry is Nostrovia! Poetry's passion. We will never make money. We will never be famous.
We publish poems. We work with our writers.
We will be passionate with you.

What does nostrovia Mean?
Cheers to writing! Nostrovia! Nostrovia!
"Nostrovia" is an English mispronunciation of the Russian word "Na Zdorovie" (Naz-dro-vyeh). Na Zdorovie is commonly thought to be a drinking toast, but if you were in a bar full of native Russians and used Na Zdorovie as a toast, they'd laugh at your ignorance.
Na Zdorovie translates to "You are welcome". At some point in the process of this words abduction into the United States, the original definition was misplaced.
Nostrovia is generally now used as slang for "let's get drunk", "let's drink", or "cheers".

Nostrovia! is alive
a fist loaded
with poetry.
A mouth
punched blue
because a tongue
doesn't know how to control its knuckles
passion humping taste buds
like tomorrow
taking on yesterday.

"We don’t read and write poetry because it’s cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for."
-Dead Poet's Society
