Royal portrait

As he ordered her to bend
she saw what he didn't see,
obeyed immediately.

It was not to please her king.

"Hi, are you a wasp", she asked,
"Can you sting for me?"

"My pleasure, my Lady",
it said as it bowed its head
and stung the royal portrait.

This is my entry to @felt.buzz his #zapfic

I started writing with last week's prompt bow but was too late (no inspiration earlier). I changed my story and that is why you find both prompts back here.

It is a great way to earn in a fast way and to collect SBI shares. You only need to write 200+ words and answer the question.

Use partiko

How about giving it a try yourself f?
With my lousy, unstable connection it is the only app that still works most of the times. I can post with it and the notifications show an overview with who voted, commented and mentioned you.
You earn points if you use it for posting, commenting and upvoting (partiko points can be traded into Steem).
Try it. There is nothing to lose

Note: At this moment not all replies (and upvotes) are posted. Check it or use something else.

More tips you can find at @wakeupkitty.pal.

Use them to grow especially if your connection is fine and not as slow as mine.

@team-ccc is the account where you can find info

about the Community #ccc, contests running, the members and more.

Each day I write a diary #forthechildren.

If I can I use SteemCoinpan for posting
Note: SteemCoinpan wants you to use three tags!

1. #sct

3. #sct-diary or an other subject. Posting via SteemCoinpan saves me the first tag plus I can use more tags. Your post will automatically show up on Steemit.com

@actifit?

Yes, I am still motivated thanks to.@actifit but less fanatic. If my mobile phone does not count so be it.

I need to sleep and rest more so my daily chorus are the minimum. My health is more important and I need tohave a better one before winter starts.

My left foot made a weird noise with every step I took. 🤔
Ignoring is the best it did not hurt.
My joints are less painful thanks to @actifit (keep moving, the more you move the easier it is to swing), I have no cramps (thanks to the soap) and I sleep the biggest part of my night.

Happy Wednesday to all! Keep your mind and body healthy by keeping it busy.

P.s. Underneath my actifit report card of Sept. 24, 2019.
