Hello to my fellow poets and friends of Poetry,

My name is Lannie Brockstein. I am a poet from Canada.

The following link doth leadeth to my "Trembling Streams" sonnet, which I composed in iambic pentameter and that contains 116 finely patterned words, along with its literary video that I made and which features a demo of myself singing the first nine lines of its lyrics: https://steemit.com/poetry/@lanniebrockstein/txspequa

It has been discouraging that my "Trembling Streams" sonnet, my "Shipwreck'd Desires" sonnet, my "The Populace Invisible" poem, and my "I Hath Read Each Chapter" haiku were each quickly buried in the Steem blockchain; because of that, I stopped posting anymore of my poems at Steemit.

I like th'idea of Steemit being an online community where there are not any moderators, or trolls, and where original content contributed can be financially rewarded, but none of that matters if it is next-to-impossible for your posts to be found, and if there is the same difficulty in finding the posts of poetic others. That be why it is important for whales to form mutually beneficial partnerships with original content contributors, that they may help each other to promote quality posts along with the Steemit platform they are posted on.

Best of luck to all contestants, and thank you to @vitkolesnik as well as Whaleshares Community, The Isle of Write Community, and DBREAD Token for sponsoring this contest.
