I am a Plankton and it's Hard

in busy •  7 years ago 

I've been working really hard these days to keep the poetic-surge afloat so we can keep helping as much poets as possible inasmuch as there is not much support coming forth for us from whales or dolphins above and we have to do all the work ourselves. This explains why I've been posting less and I'm a bit behind schedule on the Poetry Appreciation contest results announcement. However, I'm fully back for the time being and here is a little poem for you guys.


Plankton

Like pure streams of ever flowing water
Majestically meandering down a grey rock
A flow of thoughts floods my mind. As I wonder
Why I seem to have failed to find any luck

Why is support so far-fetched for a good cause?
And why does helping others come at a great cost
Slowly amounting to a confounding greater loss
Isn’t this but a dreadful curse?

Yet I shan’t be drowned in the turbulent storm
Neither shall I be devoured by sea beasts
Ignoring the banters and jeers as they come
I’ll rise from the hollow to achieve many great feats


The Poetic-Surge

The poetic-surge is a poetry community with sole purpose of making the voice of poets acknowledged on steemit. Our motto is "keeping poetic dreams alive on steemit". We strive to help poets earn.

The poetic-surge community is in need of sponsorship in the form of sbd and steem donations and or steem power delegations. Interested sponsors can contact me or @tony-duke on steemit.chat. You could also message me at @ajremy#4495 on discord.

Thanks for your time..


with love

@ajremy, I admire your courage, strength. There is a particular moment in your poem that I've encountered. Then, I was trying to build a creche school in my town. I did my damnedest to summon sponsors, but all my attempts ended in futility. I was discouraged, but at a point, I decided to keep going. A wise man once said that when the going gets tough, only the tough gets going. I tell you, keep going; you will make it. Your strength is just inspiring, your poem too exudes motivation, both the rhymes.

Thanks... the road will never be easy.. I guess slow and steady wins the race...

Slowly and steadily we can build a community all steemit poets can be proud of

You just hang in there and keep fighting the good fight, okay? I enjoy reading your poems ... and I think those of us who write poetry especially have a difficult time getting support - it's a very small niche in a very big pond!

I don't plan on giving up anytime soon... I've promised myself that one way or the other, the steemit poetic-surge will thrive and fulfil it's aim of helping poets grow and earn here on steemit...

thanks for your motivation through poems...

You're welcome.. funny enough... I write poems to motivate myself.. but knowing I motivate others too brings me joy
