A Promotional Sonnet for Fellow Steemian Leslie Starr O'Hara

in #poetry7 years ago

Leslie Starr O'Hara ( @lesliestarrohara ) is one of my favorite writers here on Steemit. She's a real pro with a clear voice and some great stories to tell, and she's one of the regulars I keep bookmarked to check on every day.

Now she's decided to offer a professional editing service. For 30 SBD she'll take a thorough look at three of your posts and write up an analysis of how to "level up" your writing to better capture readers and keep them entertained and informed. This service available to anyone who writes in English, whether or not it's their first language.


Level Up With Leslie

When words will settle not, and skip their place,
Ideas defy an organisèd state,
Composition scatters, and the space
For your expression will not rate

The efforts you've invested, why not let
A more experienc'd hand take to the page
And work, with some analysis, to get
Your thoughts in better form - not to upstage

But rather "level up" your choice expressions?
For you might tell a story no one reads
And what's the point of that? When your digressions
Die for lack of audience, proceeds

Are not forthcoming. Starr O'Hara edits,
Ensuring words will earn their proper credits.


You can read about this service here.

Plus, currently she's running a contest in her comments to that post so that three winners can receive her feedback service for free. Head over there and leave her a note if you'd like a chance to win. I originally wrote the above sonnet for her contest (since I've already spent my Steem Dollar allowance on a trading card from @steemitadventure - so excited!) and then I figured I might reproduce it here as something more personal than a re-steem.

This is a great example of the sort of creative help we can be to each other on Steemit - a great business opportunity for her and a needed service for us. I'm proud to be part of a community where these ideas are growing.

WOW!!! I've never been sonneted before, promotionally or otherwise! And such a lyrical and well-metered sonnet it is.

Thanks, @winstonalden!

Oh cool - so relieved you liked it!
