"Tumbleweeds" - A Poem

in poetry •  6 years ago  (edited)

You and me
You and me
The one who writes
The one who reads
Echoes
Echoing
On abandoned feeds
Where minnows
Once toiled
To earn their Steems
Now one writes
Now one reads
Amidst the rolling
Tumbleweeds


Okay, things aren't quite that bad but lower Steem prices do have a way of emptying out the place (just a tad). I'm a bit busy lately but I ask myself sometimes, would that be a good enough reason for me to post less if Steem were, I dunno, $10? How about $100? Or $1000? And how many would I be able to earn then?

Steem on (as hard as you can)

I am a simple minded person. I don't consider the prices when posting. I enjoy posting. I fee that if I post only when the money is good, then it's a bit like being a fair-weather friend - only when the circumstances are good, then I am around. Anyway, to each his own. Cheers!

I enjoy posting too but if Steem prices were much higher, I'm pretty sure I'd find a way to post more (even though I'm tired/busy/distracted). Steem was much lower when I started (somewhere around 12 cents usually) and I remember the night I saw it cross $1 for the first time. That was exciting :) but I'll be here even if the prices fall to 3 cents again. I'm more motivated by the long-term potential than the short-term ups and downs but as you said, to each his own.

Yup, like you, I focus on the long-term potential rather than the short-term ups and downs. Cheers!

Cheers :)
