I picked up my Steem Dollar It didn't seem very much Took it to the exchange To sell for BTC or such When I saw the price of one I leapt up and did a jive For I had not one or two or three Man oh man I

Crypto going crazy SBD heads off the scale I hope that steem will follow suit So that we will all be whales Even if it doesn't fly But rises nice and slow The best is just to hodl on And see where we will

When they are knocking at the porch But you will not let them in Then they move around the back and they're rooting in your bins You grab the shoe of champions The one with true aim sole Wind your arm

Outside the night swaddles the land In darkness. Small fires, lanterns Hold the beast at bay No such light or warmth for I Huddled in blankets Eyes wide with fear As the knocking stops A handle turning,

We shared a pizza Rain sluicing from the sky Sloshing around us Yet together we were dry Plastic and metal Forged a roof up above We huddled beneath it Young and in love It was some weeks later I wondered

In the valley of dead things Under the shifting bruised sky Something not living Nor dead Issued it's cry The order of things in this orderless here Was shattered By something Which knew nothing of fear

I was weary from battle Stunned from the blows Heart sore and weary My eyes saw a rose I gentled toward her May we talk for a while? More scared than I was fighting She gave a small smile She sang for

I sit on my throne and ponder The world and its fate Where do we stand In this life Are we acting too late? Not just problems large But little Also I dwell Perhaps I can change things Halt our descent

The Orchestra plays my song My breathing steadies to slow Here again To perform I make ready to go The crowd they all roar As I step onto the stage Nerves flutter away Now I am back In my cage I parade

I pad forward Paws silent Murder in my eyes My prey a slumber Unsuspecting Of my deadly surprise A twitching limb Unguarded foot I Lunge, my aim is true An outraged scream That bloody cat I dodge the fast

I feel trapped down here Kept apart from my friends we were running Laughing, free as youth is Hair caught in my mouth Fumbling Stumbling Tumbling Cassie, you shriek As well you might When I disappear

Yesterday it looked like there was another wallet phishing/scam attempt on steemit users by the account @steemitsecurity. These attacks flourish and will not stop because it costs a very small amount to

I love fiction. I love writing. On the web sometimes its hard to get drawn into reading a big block of text, for example, on your phone. So the following will be the first part of a series of bite sized
