Good one.
Suggestion, at the bottom of each post, because your passion in poetry, can you make an brief intro of who you are and interest...
For eg:
Hi, I'm -name-. I love to write poetry ... (you shall continue).
The reason being, there's a guide and tip from other steemians that if they see your posting (after scrolling down the page) and it takes less than 20 seconds, ppl will less likely to upvote.
Give it a try...
