READ EACH HAIKU THREE TIMES

Ten Premium Medium Haikus

Unboosted, unfollowed, and unfortunate

‘B’ for Boost / Photo by Luv Murrell on Unsplash

just nominated! but rejected out of hand — unboosted poems die.

earnings are falling like two thousand pound dumb bombs — where is the money?

clapping, growth hacking, inflated stats, deflated earnings — WTF?

Smillew is not love, Smillew is pure marketing — get it right, people.

I need a boost, Coach. you might like my poetry — show me the money.

why does every month feel like my last written gasp? — schmedium dot com.

subscribe, unsubscribe, fickle pickle follower — tic, itch, scratch, spasm.

today I love you tomorrow I unfollow — Dr Jeckyl hides.

big empty white screen tiny green publish button — sky is the limit.

bit coin, crypto, gold, premium Medium stock — what are we smoking?

Learn how we can choose the taichong point instead of war from Pseu Pending (Seu) in this recent poem:

Have you ever had your loved one break into your Amazon account to buy you a birthday present? Check this recent one out by Graham Lilley:

Find out why we can no longer be appreciative in the comment section in this piece by Maryan Pelland OnText.com:

Bruce Coulter and I have something in common: we both love cats, even ones with questionable litter box habits:

Are you curious about how to go about thanking your secret booster when you’ve been blindsided by a stroke of good luck? Nancy Santos may have just written the gold standard with this poem:

That’s all for now. Thanks for reading. Vote with your claps and comments. And if you’re The Coach, clap and leave a kind comment. Or not.

Thank you, Grandma Smillew.
