Terry's Poetry Tryings. Minnow Story.

in #poetry7 years ago





It was a hot July... good old 2016!

I lazily looked YouTube at a blue screen...

Then I decided to read some crypto news -

There it was written that I should choose.



Steemit - the only right choice as they say!

And I began to try my luck... day by day...

I wrote and waited... soon I will be rich!

Even asked my wife for help (she is a witch).



I woke up very early and ran to my PC,

But only meager zeros again waiting for me!

My flame started to fade away... frustration grew.

But one good person said to me - keep doing what you do!



He taught me how to be more patient, reach the star!

Helped earn and grow... and helps so far!

Despite this, I did stupid things - sold steem :(

When it went up, all-district heard my scream!



And what advice can I give you my friend?

Do not give up! Your post will be in "trend"!

One day, success will come to you!

Keep calm, and doing what you do!



Sincerely, Terry Craft.

Of course, the success comes from the long patience
Nice words .. Thank you

Perfectly inspirational!

With so many newcomers to the Steemit platform in the last few weeks, it's great to add that little bit of encouragement behind their efforts to build their news accounts!

Everyone had to start at the beginning, and we shouldn't lose sight of that while we're deep in the trenches working hard to post great content everyday.

Here's there line I liked best:

Do not give up! Your post will be in "trend"!

The best advice is to just keep at it with a great attitude and ya can't go wrong!

Thank you @terrycraft for your continued contributions to the community, your posts are always a joy to look forward to.

Thank you so much! It is very pleasant to read such feedback. Steemit is a wonderful place! With the money earned here, I help people in the real world and try to help newcomers directly here. Everyone can do something if he has a desire!

Best wishes!

Terry.
