Firstborn- Freewrite Poetry

The touch of her hair smooth as silk rabbits fur, I muse.
I, a child, observing a babe,
Her smell clean, fresh; newborn.
My mother's milk glistening on her lips.
Mine.

@wandrnrose7 has a beautiful tribute to any firstborn in this poem. If you are a firstbor, or are thinking of your own firstborn, make sure to read this heartfelt dedication poem.

Poem: The End Of The Rainbow?

Thanks to my beautiful wife for giving me the inspiration. She's my Rockstar!
I can't picture this maze of a world without her amazing support. Sometimes life can be very confusing, to the point of pushing people off the cliff... leaving those that stare either in disbelief, awe or simply mortified by what people are capable of. As for those that don't feel those emotions, be wary

@therneau recognizes his wife's support and her being the reason for his creativity in this poem.

The Gambler- Short Story

Peter stared at the money in his hand. He had a difficult choice to make, and he knew he was going to make the wrong choice. It was just his luck. He knew he had a serious problem, but it was like he was just attracted to these slot machines, and nothing could stop him

You're down to your last few dollars! Have you ever been to a casino... hit the button... and all of a sudden lights start flashing... music starts playing and everyone is looking in your direction? What did you do? See how @giantbear's character, Peter, got to this point in his life and what happened next.

Reflecting Through The Pane: Original Poetry

People argue, it happens. Family members, significant others, fact is, you're never gonna see eye to eye on everything with everyone. Life doesn't work like that. What's important, is how it's handled. The same method that works for some may not work for others. Doesn't mean there isn't a path to forgiveness. You just have to find the path smoothest for your situation. We all interpret things different, there's billions of individual views of the same world. Take a minute and peek through someone's window. Before you regret waiting til the curtains are drawn

Yes we've all been there at one point and time in our life; a disagreement with another person. Read @thiscrazylife's poetry about remorse, forgiveness and finding your way back from an argument.

After The Change- Finish The Story

Six long months had passed since the change.
At first, Theo had almost forgotten, absorbed by much more urgent matters, but now that he was slowly coming out of that ordeal and returning to occupy a place in the world, although completely different from the one he occupied before, all the signs of the change were exhibited before his eyes as goods on display in the stalls of a market, and could no longer be ignored.

What is the Tree Of Change... the Big Bang? So much has changed in Theo's life in this “finish the story” contest; and @marcoriccardi really has a way of writing to bring the story and Theo's thoughts to life.

Introducing Referral Bonuses!

Dear Qurites,

We know times are tough now and we all have to push a little bit harder. We came up with two programs that will help you earn some extra upvotes and visibility from Qurator, and will also help Qurator to reach more Steemians/your friends that need some extra help.

Write a post about Qurator.

Our long time members know how it all works. You have been with us through thick and thin.

Share your experience with your friends and followers. We would love to know how our members see Qurator and what they like (or don't) the most about the project.
Feel free to write in your own native language. We are open to all languages and have already translated our main Qurator post to several languages.
Well written posts will receive some extra upvote love from Qurator and a resteem. :) Feel free to drop your post link in our Daily Qurator comment section, so we don't miss it.

Invite a friend.

Do you know someone who is starting out? Or maybe someone who is posting great posts for a while but still need more exposure? Refer Qurator to your friend and after they get approved and become a member you will also receive a bonus 1SBD upvote on your most recent posts.

There are two ways to do it and this is how it works:

	Option 1 - Referrals	Option2 - Sponsorship
1	You refer a friend to Qurator	You sponsor a membership to your friend
2	Your friend sends registration fee to Qurator and mentions your name in the memo: referred by @your_steemit_username	You send registration fee to @qurator with your the person's name in memo: @your_friends_username
3	Our team reviews the account	Our team reviews the account
4	Your friend is approved - you receive a 1SBD upvote	Your friend is approved - you receive 1SBD upvote

Keep in mind that all registration rules still apply and all account will be reviewed by our team. You can read about content requirements in THIS post.

Note: Both programs are open to everyone, not only Qurator members.

Steemauto Curation Trail

	The new curation trail is active and running! If you would like to support your fellow Qurites or just earn some extra curation feel free to join our curation trail that is active on Steemauto. Steemauto guide and registration info

We suggest not following the trail with 100%, steemauto has 2 ways of following a trail, static or scaled. We suggest using SCALED instead of static since static votes can add up quickly and drain VP very fast. We suggest using scaled and then maybe around 25%.

Steemauto can show us who is currently on the trail and at what percentage. Looking forward to see more Qurites joining the trail in the near future! We also reward the team players and there might be a nice surprise for a lucky trailer. =P

Qurator banners
