Which poem did you read? I'm glad you enjoyed it which ever one it was. 🙂 The community here on steemit is very welcoming once you get going. The trick is to write as regularly as you can but equaly importantly, to read other peoples articles and comment your thoughts on the ones you like/relate too. A lot of people starting out here, don't realize these simple things that will help you to make friends and attract followers to your blog.
You might get a lot of people commenting on your blog when you get started saying - I followed you, now you follow me please - this is considered impolite on here and gets a lot of people into trouble when they first start. Here is a steemit article that will help you understand the etiquette: https://steemit.com/steemit/@thecryptofiend/the-complete-steemit-etiquette-guide-revision-2-0 I hope I am not coming across too preachy, this is just something I wish I had known about when I first started on steemit and I hope it will help encourage you. Good luck @sirodsimelay, and happy blogging
I read "A Deluge For The Dead And Dying" and I found it very moving. I liked the irony too of the photograph of the man reading the business section of the paper. No, I am very happy to receive advice because I know extremely little about this business of online networks - in my day we had pen pals and wrote letters with pens dipped in inkwells set in wooden school desks and it could take weeks for communications to reach their destination, especially if that happened to be Overseas. I like instant communication and I like the idea of being able to meet people and share ideas across such a seemingly infinite spectrum of age and experience. So there is a lot to enjoy within modernity, I find, though I miss silence and of course I miss the bush because so much of it has turned to desert over the years. But then everything comes at a price, no? Anyway, looking forward to reading more of your work! And good luck!
