🌷My favorite poet this month is Elizabeth Barrett Browning 🌷


Elizabeth Barratt Browning was born on March 6th, 1806 in a small little town in England known as Coxhoe Hall. Elizabeth began writing verses at the age of four. She was a precocious child who enjoyed picnics, walks alongside her family, and reading books. Her books gave her refuge and solace from the daily rituals of life and family. At the age of six years old she began to write poetry. Her mother began a collection of her poetry and Elizabeth is known to have one of the largest collections written by any youth. Her work was favored in Britain and in the United States.

SONNET XXII
"When our two souls stand erect and strong,
Face to face, silent, drawing nigh and nigher,
Until the lengthening wings break into fire
At either curved point, what bitter wrong
Can the earth do to us, that we should not long
Be here contented? Think. In mounting higher,
The angels would press on us and aspire
To drop some golden orb of perfect song
Into our deep, dear silence. Let us stay
Rather on earth, Beloved,
where the unfit
Contrarious moods of men recoil away
And isolate pure spirits, and permit
A place to stand and love in for a day,
With darkness and the death-hour rounding it."
Elizatbeth Barrett Browning

Hello @theprettysoul!

I noticed you have posted many times since you began your journey on Steemit. That is great! We love active partipants.

I do want to point out that the Introduceyourself tag is meant to be used once only to introduce yourself to the Steemit community. You have now posted 12 times using the introduceyourself tag. Please see this link for more information Tag Spam?

Please take this into consideration and help build a great platform!

@introbot,

Thanks I didn't know that Steemit had rules that said we couldn't introduce ourselves to new users. If someone new on the network is looking for potential friends on Steemian are we not able to market our material, work, and content to them? This seems a bit unfair especially since our material can be overlooked with the millions of post per second. Can we use the introduce myself hashtag? I mean we should be able to introduce ourselves to other Steemit users. Many Blessings,
@theprettysoul
