Pearlescent Poems # 63: Den & Nad's Whale War - The Drought - Steemit Story 3 (Original Poem)
They stripped the Minnows of nearly everything; this time of drought was indeed the hardest
They had to rebuild, and now start from scratch, not knowing where they should then focus
Some were defeated, others were lost, but most just now walked around hopeless
He had planted a field of powerful peppers, that livened this man into song
Most called him the Mayor, the Minnow of Many, and helpful, he was, to his people
He mapped out a plan to recapture the land, and distribute to each one, what's equal
Suave loved to pillage, plunder and scare, while his brother was far from a nuisance and prick
Suave battered and sloshed his large head and big tail, making great waves to destroy for his pleasure
But Slick had allowed many Minnows to ride atop him, giving them green endowments and treasures
Father Spice had an abundance of his harvest still hidden, and was slipping them little bundles of goods
"30 Days of Drought!" the Whales reminded and shouted, "You Minnows will now value what's given!"
The whole community plotted against their monstrous Whale foes, as they had prepped for another collision...

I'll still be continuing accepting donations until I can reach my goal to fly out to america with my children and wife to visit my family as it is very urgent indeed.
I've raised $1331 and .58 cents of Steemit Currency in total from both My Posts and Donations from Steemit Community Members this 2017 forward and $95.00 in US Dollar Donations so far towards my goal of $ 6,000.00 (Six Thousand) US Dollars and will keep everyone updated with every new future post that I submit.
This total amount will not only include donations I've received to the Paypal account I've provided: [email protected], but it will also include the Steemit Currency that I accrue/receive from all of my personal posts starting the 1st of January of 2017 forward calculated after a 48 hour time frame is finished for the payout cycle of each post to avoid miscalculating the fluctuating price of Steemit Currency.
For more information on that, please check my New Year's/Happy Bday Post

My very own wonderful gif logo provided to me by the generous and kindhearted @papa-pepper Thanks again very much!
This is turing into one of those epic ballads to be repeated/turned into feature length films by minnow bards from every stretch of steemit XD
Thank you a lot, that is quite a compliment. I just wanted to have fun with what's been going on lately, and I'm thoroughly enjoying my interpretive approach so far. We must write in remembrance of us Minnows. :)
What a poem! If only more people could be like Father Spice!
Thank you bro, I'm glad you caught this one in particular. You set a great example in this wonderful community. By the way thanks so much always for your charitable giving and kind heart! I appreciate what you sent me. God bless
I'm glad that I caught it too!

Thank you for the update
This is great, I'm loving this poetic tale. Suave and Slick, lol. Trying not to focus on the scary number of thirty days. Ah well, 'tis a rollercoaster this steemit, and as such there will be downs with the ups.
An up occurred today, with the return of a prodigal. And a friend that I was very worried about. But no longer, This Man is fine, lol.
Thank you very much. I'm so glad you love it my friend. We must endure these thirty days until the full adjustments to the payout have come to a head and tail. But that's wonderful to hear your friend is back. That must be a great feeling, so glad to hear he is okay :)
Great follow-up, bro. Of all the installments, this is one I have a bigger disconnect to, probably because it focused on specifics. But, you continue to impress with the way you're going about this tale. This really is turning into an epic that accurately tells the story of the current climate. So, Slick is @htooms huh? Very interesting take on it. I liked how you set them up as twins which were mirror images of each other. Great job, my bro!
Thanks bro, yeah I think I'll stop here at Story 3 for now until something else transpires, I have so many things I want to write and share so at least 3 installments give it a a full circle finish for now. But yeah at least you can enjoy the storyline even being disconnected. Slick definitely is @htooms :) Glad you enjoyed it for what it was worth in your eyes, appreciate that bro. If I'm inspired to continue, another one will pop up soon.
