I published a post,
That sat on my blog.
Lumpy and lonely,
As a bump on a log.
Nobody noticed,
And nobody cared.
Nobody commented,
And nobody shared.
Content is king,
That’s what they say.
I feel like a peasant,
Who’s lost my way.
I carefully crafted,
This fine little post.
I might even tout,
It was finer than most.
The title was stunning,
The message was grand.
A post such as this,
Is a far cry from bland.
If only I could fathom,
Just what it would take.
To get eyes on my post,
And shares of the stake.
It’s quite a dilemma,
I’d rather not face.
To write a good post,
That time will erase.
Till I glean the secrets,
To get my post shared.
I won’t write another,
My pen will be spared.
