OCD DAILY - Issue #514

Welcome to the 514th issue of @OCD Daily!

Issue #514 highlights content from six(6) Steem Content Creators! The OCD team continues its search throughout Steem to find you the undervalued gems, as provided by relatively new users.

Today our curators found six(6) new pieces of original content! We strive to find works that are created by newer Steem users, that may not have the audience with which to share their quality content. @OCD strives to help provide that audience and intends to showcase Steem users who put in the extra effort to create creative, original content.

The @OCD nomination process

A curator will FIND a piece of work (typically from newer users). Within 24 hours that piece has been submitted from the curator to the @OCD team, curator votes are tallied, and the pieces with the most votes are included in the compilation.

We encourage you to visit these blogs and show these great Steemians your support and encouragement.

If you enjoyed their work, give them a Follow or maybe even say Hello!

All of the content chosen by our curators is undervalued, but there is always one piece that rises to the top. That piece is universally appreciated and valued by our curators making it OCD’s Top Nomination of the Day.

Our top nomination of the day is from @rynow

@rynow bought a classic WV Kombi hippy van in an auction recently. He had only seen photos of it but it turns out to be a beauty even though it doesn't work. Luckily getting it back to working order was pretty easy, and he even got an offer for it which would double his investment!

Lightpainters United is a community that aims to highlight the outstanding art of light painting at Steem Blockchain.

LightPainters community nomination of the day is from @fastchrisuk

Fastchrisuk is presenting us an impressive lightpainting project that took part at an abandoned church. We can enjoy three variations, one with spinning fireworks, another where he spun burning steel wool with magnesium strips for a more complex effect and last but not least the perfect glowing orb.

The Ink Well is a friendly community for all of the poets and story tellers on the steem blockchain.

Ink Well community nomination of the day is from @owasco

This ballad in response to The Ink Well’s first poetry prompt was a powerful and heart wrenching poem by @owasco. An amazingly competent ballad given that they have never written in this form before!

The ballad ‘How To Say The Word Kiss’ inspires pathos and sadness in the reader, showing how many people mellow in old age with a life well lived, which often manifests in the most profound realizations at that transition between life and death as owasco describes in this poem.

Technically this poem shows many examples of modern poetic devices proving the poet took a lot of time, editing and re-writing to achieve such artistry.

There are examples of alliteration, in-line rhymes and half rhymes.

He told a tale I’d never imagined

of longings, lust and love

a tapestry of nearly never-told stories

some of us wear them well

Using modern poetic devices like this is the calling card of an accomplished contemporary poet writing in an ancient form. This meeting of two styles and times, expressed through poetry is what I strive for when writing in form, and what modern published poets do so well, bringing new poetic devices to the constraints of form. @owasco does a masterful job of writing a ballad, especially given she writes almost exclusively in free verse.
