Dead Poems Socieity
What we have here is one ghost trying to explain block-chain technology to a bunch of other dead guys. He must have succeeded because someone is buying up all the steem. I have searched online and there does not seem to be a cause and effect reason as to why steem has uncoupled ... yes, we wanted that ... from other cryptos and is making a run for the hills. I am sorry; I hate the bull and bear market expression. Let's change it to run for the hills and taking cover in the valley. If anyone can give me a good theory for the run, love to here it.
But it also time to revive an old poem. Take it out like you would a pressed rose from a page of a heavy book. Here the heavy book is the virtual compression of the block chain. We can all marvel at how well the flower, your poem, has aged.
Here are the rules
- Upvote and re-esteem this post.

- Poems only, all forms of poetry welcomed.
- Don't vote for yourself
Results from last week. The SBD and steem payout figured to roughly 0.5 SBD. It is hard to give you an exact amount as the value of steem is fluctuating as is the value of SBD. But the following people will/have received ...
@zeleiracordero ... 0.125
@kilbride ... 0.1
@momzillanc ... 0.1
@satorid ... 0.1
@marlyncabrera ... 0.1
Okay, folks ... open up the blockchain and get posting and reading:):):)

Good use of images to convey an inner storm accompanied by a deep sadness mixed with resignation. Very good!

I love your structuring (I don't know the correct terms but your line length etc), I write very similarly and I've always loved that in poetry you force cadence with word placement. Great job, I really liked this piece! Also this line was great : where the houses make the neighborhood

Excellent poem, @momzillanc! I love the way that you can read. The literary resources, the same form and the configuration of the words, the rhythm and the connection with the theme developed: the journey of life, intervened by the choices we make.

Hello everyone! I hope the weekend has been good. Here I bring my "zombie", (as said @mineopoly). It is a kind of consequence of the poem presented last week or a dream continuation. His name,"Resplendent Zircon." I hope you like them.

My friend! It's good to have you here! That's true, time does not run now ... fly! But, of course, strange those times, the pressure of our good things, keeps us so alert. Although, we sweated ... It was worth it!

Well, you know you should get your share ;)
About the poem:
As I read, I thought, "What about shame?", and there was shame, right there.
This kind of encouragement is a sensible issue. I think we all have second skins, and I like to think agree with the speaker of your inspiring lines; however it is at times from difficult to impossible. I guess we set the limits ourselves.
Loved it, @prydefoltz :)

Pointy and accurate lines. I love that pen to penetrate the interior of dark and unruly subjects. Being and seeing, so many times in contradiction. So many armor, so many masks and you go in, you remove dust, you draw blood poking well inside and tears of surrender, of falling into account.
Excellent as always, Pryde friend!

Many people hide their feelings under a shield so as not to be hurt. I think that people should show themselves as they are. Courageous and sharing what it feels like.

It seems our offerings are rather in the same vein. Shed our shame, embrace our scars, and make our own paths. The way I see it, I earned every wrinkle, every scar – both existential and in flesh; they are the roadmap of my life.

It only feels like skin That is one of those lines, that encompass so much in a tidy little package. And why I love poetry as a communication so deeply <3

Hi, you all bearers of dead poems :p
Hi, @prydefoltz. Thanks for the invite (and my share).
One of the areas I work out is Children's Lit, so today I have decided to recover from the near past (four months ago) a couple of limericks. They are supposed to be funny, so I expect some laughs (or advice, please):
"The Young Witch and Marriage à la Mode (two limericks)"

I'm in Indonesia so this is appropriate. Sometimes these freewrites really cut to the quick and I find myself sort of looking in on them as a spectator.
