In the Klout World

In the Klout World

A
drop
of talk
and some
caring mentions;
some people he knew
and some he started to know;
dashes of pure engagement and thought;
timely replies and words of encouragement;
enjoyable meetings with friends online and offline;
sharing some jokes, some stories, some food and some beer.
His Klout and his clout surged up and ascended to the far reaching horizon.

It was really quite simple,
no calculations needed.
His secret was being
Kind and friendly;
helpful and nice
to his social
connections
in real
life.

This is my attempt at a shape poem as part of  the #usguys #usblogs week three theme – “How to build your offline Klout”, suggested by Dan Perez (@danperezfilms)

Round up of all other week three posts:

Loved this Rabab! I wouldn't call it an ''attempt'' at a shape poem, though. I'd call it a an admirable execution!
