Greetings, Steemit! Casual fan of fantasy, reporting in!

in #introduceyourself5 years ago (edited)

Hello there, I’m bitboltz427! I stumbled across this site some time ago, but finally decided to see what exactly it is.
I indulge in writing and poetry on occasion, though I don’t claim to be exceptional at it by any means. I imagine I’ll be reading others’ posts more than I’ll be posting myself, actually!

I’m just here to be casual and have a nice time ;-)

While I’m here, I may as well show you lot one of my poems.

Pulled across the waves
A torrent
Wild and free
It always seems the same - but is it?
The land stretching out beneath the waves
The trees always changing in hues
But is it always different?
The hills and trees cast many shadows
The waves bounce the light from the sky
The hills may look at the water and think,
“Pristine. Perfect. Always so bright.
Unlike I, with my forests of darkness.”
Unaware that underneath that glimmering shine
Rests an ocean of umbrage
The sea looks up to the mountains
Past where the light shines, and thinks
“I quite like that light the land carries on it’s back each day
I come up to the surface every day to watch it.”
And so the two of them always admire each other
From so close... yet still afar.

Let me know what you think! :-)

I adore it! It's playful and symbolic! Try using #creativecoin tag.. you might pick up some notice that way. And throw in a photo, even if its not yours, just credit it.. the thumbnail is important. Welcome to Steemit! Any questions, just ask. Xx

Thank you very much, both for the compliment and the advice! I made the changes you recommended to my post, however it shows the image twice for some reason. Strange! Must be something in the code that I don’t know how to fix, I imagine.

Edit: Ah, I seem to have figured it out! I saved the image to my device and uploaded it directly instead of copying it into the post.

Welcome buddy, it's great to have you, I'll drop by to read that poem you added really and here is fun just keep up the patience and consistency.

Thank you so much! I’ll be sure to keep that in mind in the future, about having patience and consistency! Although I’m more here to see other peoples’ posts than I am to make my own, I love to see what others create. :-)

Welcome to Steemit! It's really a great place for the enthusiast writers and for the people who want to share their good work with the world! :)

Thank you! I’m really looking forward to reading people’s posts here :-)
Do you write poetry, too? Or know of some nice poetry accounts I could follow?

You can follow @tatjanastan for some nice poetry accounts. I just love what she writes! :)
