@JamesGetsIt's Kill The Pad Challenge Wk # 2: "A Way Out" (Original Verse/Poem)
Verse Without Gifs (For Verse With Gifs, Scroll Below)
He left his family/friends behind, now recognised as foreign stray
United with his wife and baby daughter, as a father
But it bothered him, he couldn't even afford to feed them fodder...
Work experience didn't count, nothing in his bank account
Learned a whole new language, while his anguish nearing paramount
Wouldn't settle for less, but still stressed
'Til somebody told him 'bout a website open to bless...
They said, "Come to Steemit, you might not believe it
But I've made thousands of dollars upon my posts if you'll just read it"
"You've got the talent, just stick to it, find a balance
Then look in one year's time at your Wallet's estimated balance..."
His intro made 7 cents, success wasn't evident
Persistence and consistency, was what he had to represent
But over time, became a leader in community
And shows his gratitude at every given opportunity

He had to move out, new route to go and get away
He left his family/friends behind, now recognised as foreign stray
United with his wife and baby daughter, as a father
But it bothered him, he couldn't even afford to feed them fodder...
Work experience didn't count, nothing in his bank account
Learned a whole new language, while his anguish nearing paramount
Wouldn't settle for less, but still stressed

My very own wonderful gif logo provided to me by the generous and kindhearted @papa-pepper Thanks again very much!
Yea man, this is cool... Scheme is classic. On topic. Content was cool, telling a bit of your story and how you came to Steemit. A couple of the rhymes were a little out of place, or kind of lazy to me.
The first couplet was cool, but I felt "open to bless" was out of place. The phrasing was off to me, website open to bless, etc. Just felt a bit forced and not thought out, just key-styled. balance/balance - only time I think using the same end rhyme is OK is if it's part of the scheme. Like what Drake does or something.
Something like that, where it's really part of the scheme.
Good drop man! Appreciate you participating!
Thanks so much bro, definitely could have improved the writing but this was good practice towards the journey of making another impacting track in the future

Thank you very much, so glad you enjoyed it.
Is this a new form of Art?
I'm so glad I popped in the 'NEW' tab at this very moment, because if I hesitated for one moment longer your art would have swept on by in the Steemit sea.
Fate?
or
Fortune?
I'd say the later as fate only brings us together but fortune actually means it was worth it.
Thank-you for your words :-D
This is a Hip Hop art form. 16 lines that rhyme which make up an entire verse which can be rapped or flowed on a beat. I'll perform this soon. Thanks for checking my art out, fate and fortune can both be found through steemit :) Much success to you. Steem on
