RE: I was never a writer.

in #poetry7 years ago

A hunter for treasure has sailed from our shores
on a fanciful frigate of might
and set off to find hidden gems of a poetic
nature 'neath cover of night.
Just this morning we heard, oe'r the roar of the waves,
that a poem to curate's in sight!
Well, this poem in question is yours, so this writ
from the shores of the Isle of Write
is announcing deposit of five SBDs
in your wallet: we hope that's all right.
Our anthology's filled with the poems of Steemit;
black ink on its pages of white:
and if yours is included we're sure of the loudest
applause that your words will incite!
We beseech you to navigate now to the Isle,
making haste as a bird soars in flight.
As you traverse the ocean you'll see our tall palms;
from your vessel, please safely alight.
@treasurehunter” you'll type to inform us you're here
and your ship is all moor'd nice and tight.
Then as soon as we can, we will ping you to answer
your questions both mammoth and trite,
and a verification of willingness we will
procure with a flourishing rite
saying you will allow us to publish your work
in this tome of the Isle of Write!
(Be assured that, as author, you will be retaining
your full and complete copyright.)
Follow this treasure map to sail to the shores of the Isle of Write!
