Greetings Steemians, Poets, Readers, Bitcoin Millionaires, Modern Investors, Entrepreneurs, and Everyone Else!!!
From now, until next Friday, July 21st, 2017 (starting the second week, contest's will run from Friday to Friday, ending 10pm EST on Friday), we will be having a Poetry Contest (voter's choose the winner)! Tell your friends who like to write if they are interested! :)

Comment the link to your poem in the comments
Special Note: You can use old poems, but must create a new steemit article in order to have an entry - 1 ENTRY PER STEEM ACCOUNT, but you can vote on as many poems as you want (including your own; I LIKE THINK OF IT AS VIRTUAL APPLAUSE WHERE YOU CAN CLAP/SNAP FOR WHOEVER YOU WANT AS MUCH AS YOU WANT)!
IMPORTANT NOTE: You must follow these rules, or will be disqualified from receiving prizes.
