A Minnow's Tale
I wandered for years through vast interwebs,
Joined millions of others
Sipping her dregs,
Writing my heart out, sharing my rhymes,
Throwing my pearls,
To internet swine.
I thought it was hopeless,
Surely, no dice, so many plagiarize;
And never think twice.
Along came a friend,
(I'd given up then)
No one was seeking
Depths from within.
He shared a new link,
"Say, what do you think?
Steemit is great, sign up-
There's a wait."
I jumped at the chance,
What more could I do?
Maybe his claims would prove to be true!
A day or two passed,
My Steemit was LIVE!
I searched through the posts,
A headlong dive.
Photography, art,
What should I do,
Oh, where should I start?
This place is so wonderful
what is my part?
Lost as a Minnow, floundering so,
I crafted my intro,
Soon lost in the flow.
Would I ever matter in this huge stream?
What's this, I think?
As I clicked a new link;
Landing in Discord,
(world in a world)
Writers like me, and everyone's nice!
Welcome to the pond,
Minnow paradise!
I started to grow in its sweet Steemit glow,
Without all my P.A.L.s
I may never have known!
Now I'm a world slinger,
Sharing rhymes and some rants,
No, it wasn't easy
Nor was it instant.
I owe my success to all of my friends,
too many to name,
I hope love makes amends.
Steemit, yours truly, a Minnow
(Of several fortnights)
You spoon feed me culture,
Fill me with delight.
Much love I return
to each of my friends,
We're part off the block chain
with beginning
No End!
