<p>The Chase of Pleasure</p><p><br/></p><p>I chased the sun on silver wings,</p><p>Through halls of gold and diamond rings,</p><p>Each sip of joy, a fleeting taste,</p><p>Each thrill a rush, then gone in haste.</p><p><br/></p><p>I danced where laughter kissed the air,</p><p>In candlelight with little care.</p><p>The world, a feast I longed to own,</p><p>Yet every bite left more unknown.</p><p><br/></p><p>The music played, the colors bled,</p><p>Desire whispered where it led.</p><p>I followed fast with open hands,</p><p>Through shifting seas and burning sands.</p><p><br/></p><p>But pleasure is a fickle flame,</p><p>It calls you close then hides its name.</p><p>A mirror cracked, a ghost in flight,</p><p>It fades by day, returns by night.</p><p><br/></p><p>Still on I run, not just to feel,</p><p>But find the pulse in what is real—</p><p>For pleasure’s not in things we hold,</p><p>But moments warm, though never bold.</p><p><br/></p><p>So chase, but know what joy is true:</p><p>Not all that shines will comfort you.</p><p>Yet in the chase, we learn our fire—</p><p>The heart behind our deep desire.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p>
At the end of each month, we give out cash prizes to 5 people with the best insights in the past month
as well as coupon points to 15 people who didn't make the top 5, but shared high-quality content.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Here are a few other things to know
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.
