RE: Dead Poems, Round 11, Contest and Community Building
Well, here's my first poem (and there's a 2nd one at the end of the post) on Steemit ... it's in my Intro-Post.
If anyone ought to appreciate it, it's poets. Enjoy.

Oh man, how do you do it! When I read your poems, I count myself as one of those others in
Please say something comforting, like: it took you a few weeks of re-drafting and attention to details to achieve this! Please, even if you must lie ;-)
@trumanity,
I took me 17 years to write that poem. I probably rewrote it 1,000 times. I was checked into a mental hospital on 3 occasions where, I'm told, I would often been seen rocking back and forth, mumbling, "Be Legend In Your Time. Be Legend In Your Time."
Verse is a harsh mistress. And ... so is Pryde Foltz.
I must run. I've got to go write a rebuttal to my latest "Daily Spanking." Wish me luck. She has a very sharp pen.
Quill.
Wonderful mastery in rhyme, meter and stress:)
@prydefoltz,
Pryde, you're my Simon Cowell. When I get a compliment about verse from you ... I pee in my pants from joy.
Quill.
A great write extolling the virtue of writing for it’s own sake, and of letting your creative voice be your guide.
