My poetic endevour to garner the affections and attention of @papa-pepper!
Minnows, Minnows swimming here and there,
Through the briny, chaotic plane.
Whales feasting in sheer delight,
What happened to proof-of-brain?
Type, Type. Click, Click.
Rejoice in euphoric exhalation.
Upvotes cast down from above,
Reinforcing our fragile reputation.
Oh, Steemit, share your embrace,
Validate my forlorn, feeble attempt.
To create works worthy of note,
Protect me from their acrid contempt.
I joined to escape the rabid masses,
Spewing forth putrid regurgitation.
To be met with stolen memes,
As the vehicle of wealth manifestation.
I do desperately adore this lofty realm,
Where dreams are entwined with possibility.
When we work together as brothers,
We solidify a true noble community.
Hello @papa-pepper i hope to try something different.
Bruh, what are you looking at? keep steeming!
You got to be careful so you don't kick the bucket where you've put your steem in.
I've got shades on, so i can stare at the sun and wait for the stars.
But i've got three wise men staring at me too, are they also following the stars?
We only define a whale but not what makes them a whale.
we haven't talked about how many rivers they had to sail.
we only see this result as figures
But their hustle we ignore.
We wish for that same transformation where we can have more
But we only get to gather what we want and not need, so we get none.
I hope to be that Jonah and get swallowed into its belly.
I wanna know what's inside that makes them always ready.
Some are worshiped, some are praised.
Lest you know, only Few will us raise.
The whales are steeming
all day long,
piece by piece they age to the top.
The youngster minnows is in awe
of the whale he gazes at from afar.
Slow and steady wins the steem,
the whales one cent to the looking minnow.
The steems won't drop from above,
you have to mine all day to gain.
Minnow took the giant step,
Walk the path of the shining whale,
With advise ringing in his heart,
He got the reputation he truly deserve.
Oh whales Im coming with you
Having the life like you do
Experiencing what youve been through
Because you are the one I look up to
I want to know how its like
Having a steem power with a spike
Chased by everybody for an upvote
Sbd is what you brought!
The minnows wishes
How i wish i can be like that whale,
I will make the world a better place.
See how honestly we are and in return get a little why they post shit and earn more.
How i wish i had a good SP i would have challenged them to a fight of the whales.
The little we have can do nothing compared to a single punch of theirs.
How i wish i got there first, we would had have the commanding power.
Nothing is left to do than to pick from their drops.
Here's my entry,sir
Amazed by success
Intrigued by fruitfulness
Minnows gaze upon whales
Mouth gaping with jaws down
Hoping for a piece of their lives
At the luxury of a whale
The fame he has attained
They truly cannot fathom
For it seems imaginary
But do they know?
How much time he committed?
How restless he nights were?
Working tirelessly like an ant?
He deserves the admiration
Cheers to every whale
