This is my first poetry and entry for this contest! I wish you all good luck and let's spread the word!
Don't cry because some cool cats scratched your pretty face
Be happy, Steemit is your ticket to fly thru the space!
This community will show you a warm welcome to the crypto world
I wrote this poem just to spread the Steemit word!
You will get paid for blogging on Steemit
But you also will meet great people, I mean it!
Those people will help you always to go up
If you're a Steemit hater this time please shut-up!
Don't forget free things are always the best
Let your cool cats play on your chest!
I wish you good luck and have fun in this contest
Now I think is time to let my brain get some rest!
It´s going to be hard to beat that one...!!
:D really? I don't know what to say; I will take it as a compliment and thank you for that, but I also want to encourage you to give it a try. You will never know if you don't try it! Thanks again.
Sure, that WAS a compliment! :))
I have just published my entry... Fingers crossed for both of us hehe
Nice to hear that! I will take a look right now!And thanks again for the compliment.
Just dropped in for a quick upvote and a message: https://steemit.com/steemstock/@riosparada/steemstock-2017-a-quick-announcement
FULL STEEM AHEAD!!!!
Message received!
😉
Finally the part I can join! This has no chance of winning, but I just wanted to get my entry in. Good luck everyone! :D
Steemit is a place that came out of the blue,
To bring opportunities for me and you.
Writing stories and thoughts as a means to earn,
Pretty soon you'll have more than enough money to burn.
Don't be too hasty though, watch out for the signs,
Pump cold ice in your veins, like these funky fresh felines.
Grumpy, Bunny Buddha, and @meesterboom,
This place is getting crowded, so you better make room.
No pushing, no shoving, we can all grow together,
Lend a helping hand, so all of us can be better.
And when you become one of the elites, don't forget your roots,
As a wise man once said, accept no substitutes.
Hehe, very good entry! Approved! :O)
Woohoo! Stamp of approval :D Whatever happens, I'm already happy with this!
Lol, it was great, I am sure you have a chance!
Thanks for the vote of confidence! I literally couldn't have done it without your winning entry (and smile?) :)
Very cool poem entry, unique creative and knowledgeable. A heavy handed competitor you are sir! Best of luck to your entry.
Thanks, man! I appreciate the compliments. My mistake was that I rushed the entry, I forgot that the deadline is days from now. Oh well, all things considered, I'm somehow satisfied with it. I used to write rhymes and rap songs a lot with a friend back in high school, so it's nice to go back to that once in a while.
You are most welcome, I too rushed my entry. I was the first to enter and just quickly jotted whatever came to mind, but I am used to writing fast. I was a big procrastinator when it came to large research papers and critical essays during obtaining my English degree, so the pressure of starting late, or pushing forward came naturally after awhile. I too also wrote rhymes and rap songs often in high school, now it is my lifestyle :) I appreciate and respect anyone who rhymes, nice poem again by the way.
Nice to know I wasn't the only one to rush it :) Yours came out so beautifully it doesn't feel like you rushed it at all though!
Thank you again, sometimes the ideas just flow, and when inspiration helps guide the writing, poems just appear in a blink of an eye. It happens often with song writing too. Yours was good as well, I couldn't tell you rushed it either.
Excellent job!! I was going to enter, but man the competition is steep, and I don't generally write poems :) You should make a post about it to get some exposure with a link to this.
Thank you, my friend! I really didn't think about my chances all that much, I just wanted to submit an entry, and the poetry part is the only part I can join. I started out writing poems before I graduated to prose, so it's nice revisiting that side of me haha I already re-steemed @papa-pepper's post, but I didn't want to make a post unless it was a sure winner. I don't want a repeat of my photo challenge fiasco haha!
Poetry is definitely the one aspect of writing that I haven't developed, but it is clear that you have! Love it!
Yeah, contest entry posts, winning ones included, tend to be overlooked. I do it more in hopes it will draw more people to the contest and hopefully more recognition for its host :)

This is just awesome! seems like I came to steemit just at the very best time for me. Everywhere I look, poetry contests just pop up. I am here just für one and a half weeks and his is my second contest. I loce it.
Here is my poem:
All the cool cats
And the rabbits with hats
And the peppers hot and sweet
We’re in for a treat
A treat for the mind and heart
Of majestic art
Of smartness and joy
Like a magical toy
A place where Ideas equal money
Where art is valued, honey
Where to hang with the cool cats is easy and sweet
And just taking part a delight indeed
Wonderful poem, my favorite one so far. Just a quick typo error "Where to hang with the cool cats…"
Nice entry, best of luck to yours indeed.
Thank you so very much for your compliment and for pointing out my typo. I corrected it.
You're very welcome, glad I can help.

Congrats on the win!
Thanks so much. It's fun to interact with everyone!
Nice poem and interesting contest!
