Hey man, I have a few issues with your post. This is just my thoughts and meant to help. You write some nice poetry yourself and mingle that with lines from other poets. So, in this case you quote Langston Hughes, a very famous American poet. But you fail to credit him properly, you do not link to a website or original work.
You should use > to create a blockquote like this:
What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun?
Or does it explode?
And then you should create a link like this [LINKNAME](LINKLOCATION)
This will look like this:
Also you should create attribution for the photos if they are not your own. You can use a link for that as described above. That will look something like this:
If the pictures are yours, say so in the post.
If you have youtube, instagram, twitter etc mention your steemit account in your bio over there.
I hope this will help you avoid the likes of Cheetah and Steemcleaner.

thanks, I choose to credit him that way because just visually for this poem I liked it better, once you add the link then the () goes away, but I get what you mean, still for me it was a format thing, but at any rate, I'll do it properly. =D

Well, I checked out you account and saw that you have a few interactions with steemcleaners and cheetah, which are not helpful and so easily avoided. And even if they are not justified in any way, people will just assume and that will harm your reputation. In the 9 months I have been at poetsunited I have seen multiple cases like yours and how it can hurt. I see a lot of potential in your work, that's why...

Oh, and while explaining it in my first response to you, I managed to explain it even better to myself...
It is even possible to make the quote be the actual link!
