100% vote from me m8. I'll try putting this in front of some bigger fish as well, best I can do at the moment as I am up to my eyeballs in debt.
I hope a whale or orca hits this to help support someone who could really do with the communities help.
All the best.
@raj808,
Thanks mate.
We're off to a good start but could use a couple of Whale/Orca hits. If this isn't a post worthy of post-HF21 curation, what is?
Quill
Yeah.... post HF21 curation seems a myth to me.... and many others. And funnily enough, it just seems to be the same old steem cheerleaders who're the recipients of this 'supposed' change in culture.
Ha ha, am I bitter? You better believe it after witnessing such a powerful pile of BS peddled to everyone while some of the best writers on steem are left to founder outside in the dark.
I took a second look at the Poems as Presents section of the post. Message received 😉 I've been putting out my month of Haiku (shorter mini blog post) simply because I needed to get away from steeming and the internet in general for a while. They seemed like a happy medium where I could keep a presence on here while stepping back a little. It's a long story why I had to get my digital detox on.
Anyway, I'll try to compose a longer, more involved, poem in tribute to @hlezama and the power of what good people can achieve on steem when they get together and care about their fellow man 🙂

Fellow haiku writer! @quillfire thinks haiku is too fussy to bother with. I'll head on over to your blog because I love the stuff!
I look forward to your tribute to @hlezama

Write five syllables
Then write seven syllables
Write five syllables

You mock me, I know, and it's OK. I would not have thought it possible until now, but that is worse even than the crap the haikubot puts out. Where is the soul, the song, the ineffable? You know you want to. One dare deserves another.
@owasco,
I don't mock you, I tease you.
Discretion is the better part of valor. :-)
Quill
Tease! It's been a while. Are we flirting?
Maybe I should have paid that fifty dollars for you to write a haiku.
I'm getting closer. It's very exciting when the final words drop into place and I know I am done.
Go to my page and see if you can react with "value" if you would please. No mocking the Bigs by name though. I am too chicken (I choose my battles), like you about haiku (you choose to chicken out) Bwawk.
@raj808,
Irrespective of Steemit's endemic problems, there are good people here. A lot of them. Henrry's one of them.
While we may not possess a pocket full of pesos, we possess a skull full of brains. And we're going to use them to turn back the tide for one good man and his family. I'm fucking sick and tired of feeling impotent and watching things fall apart. If after two years on Steemit this is the only thing I achieve ... it will have been worth it.
BTW, I posted a comment (probably below) with a poem entitled, "Who Was That ...?" I need help remembering the name of a Whale. Perhaps you could help out Ol' Quill. :-)
Quill
You're not wrong Quill. I speak what I see as truth, that's all. I don't pull my punches whether it's positive or negative. I think you know that.
I feel the same way about my work on @projectgiving... having been a part of helping improve people's lives through steem means I've already won this crazy online experimental game. I just get frustrated sometimes as I have massive financial issues myself.
P.s. see my response to the "Who Was That ...?" Poem. I've done my best to shout out into the wind 👍🙂
