I've had such a great time collaborating with others on steemit that I'm looking to do some more!
Time and time again I have been inspired and impressed with the talent and creativity of this community, and I love having an opportunity to reward others for their efforts. While running the WILD & STRANGE CONTEST I've gotten to do some great examples for entries in the different rounds.
Since the contest builds the next round based on the winning entry from the previous round, I've gotten a great chance to do turn some poetry into music too. Here are two examples.

Now, I want to do a song about how hard it is to be a new minnow on steemit, but I can only guess. Here are some of the lyrics that I have come up with so far.
You know it's hard out there for a minnow,
Because it's hard out there in the sea.
With all these other fish swimming around,
How's anybody ever gonna notice me?
A friend told me that I should join steemit,
So now I'm working hard to make it everyday.
I even try to steemit like I mean it,
Because I've heard that it's the only way.
But, # minnowlife # hardtimes # whatcanido # steemicide
. # minnowlife # hardtimes # whatcanido # steemicide
Here's where your help comes in....
Where do I go from there? What other verses could I include?
You can either reply with some poetry or rhymes or make a post out of it and drop me the link below. I'll let this contest ride for at least a few days, so get creative and see what you can come up with. By entering you are giving me full permission to use your writing. If I like what you submit, I'll give you a reward for your efforts. I'll probably try to give everyone whose lyrics get included at least 5 STEEM, but maybe 10. Also, if you make a post out of your poetry, you could maybe make even more!
Anyway, who wants to help Papa rhyme?

Saw the deposit earlier. Thank you very much. If you go triple platinum I get to party on the private jet.
DEAL... But what if I only hit double-platinum?
A free bag of cheetos perhaps?
I tell you as a Minnow that it's hard to be a champ,
Bloggin' all day until your hands start to cramp,
Finally finished and you've done your upmost,
Spend your day prayin' that a whale'll vote your post.
I like it, thanks @avarice!
That might make the song!
You're welcome. Thanks for creating another brilliant and fun blog post; I don't know how you manage to come up with so many different, interesting ideas.
I look forward to reading more of the community's input and hearing the finished song. Steem-on!

Thank you, sir. More power to you.
To be honest, you will have hard times here too,
But this is life so you have to face reality.
Don't worry we will try to help you going thru,
Even if we have to face brutality!
If you accept to have a minnow life,
Relax is not going to be your wife.
And if you ask yourself what can I do,
I will tell you: have fun, that it will help you too!
