If you post from your blog I suggest you verify.
Hello! Welcome to Steemit.
In order to prevent identity theft we like to encourage users that have an online identity, post for a website or blog, and celebrities of all notoriety to verify themselves. Verified users tend to receive a better reception from the community.
Verification can be as simple as posting to your website or blog. If you use twitter or facebook, you can also create a tweet or post there. For our easily recognizable Steemians, a photo with you holding a piece of paper with the time & date will suffice.
Thank You! ☙

I did not post from my old blog as I have rewritten this poem a little in the past six years. I had thought to post some new works here which will not be posted anywhere else. However in light of the verification necessity, I do not use twitter or facebook and have no desire to do so, I shall rethink this situation. I have no intention of posting photographs of myself at this time at least.
