HERE IS MY EXAMPLE

It's dangerous on the internet
So be sure to heed my warning
It's best to start with steemit
And some coffee in the morning

As long as you post, comment
And curate things will look up
Because you can earn STEEM each day
so the coffee may be a "free" cup

My fourteenth cup of coffee,
I think I'll have one more.
I need to do just more post,
Though my eyes are sore.

For you it is the morning,
A waking from your dream,
but I've seen the rising sun,
with a head all full of steem.

Wow, you captured my feelings completely!

:). Oh I've done the late night posts :p. It's already getting late as I write this comment.

Both this poem & the example poem (together) remind of a recent rhyming (minnow) video... hmm... lol

I will enjoy my morning coffee
Spending some quality time on Steemit
Someone just posted a hottie
Now, he also wanna see it!

LOL - You are fully entered!

Steeming coffee warms me well
No rest with stories left to tell
Mouse clicks and tapping keys
Random thoughts to release
Whales and minnows come along
Read this poem, sing this song
Post what you like, like what you do
Resteem, upvote and follow too!

Congrats to @silviabeneforti!!

It's been a while since I entered this fine contest and this is one of my favourite parts. My entry is as follows and can also be found here

Every morning I sit down
And line up my mug
Fill it up with coffee
To blow away the fug

Rack my favourite site up
It's steemit all the way
Get my writing head on
Get set up for the day

You know we're having good times
Earning steem for what we post
But interaction also counts
And that's what I love most

So get your steemit head on
Be in this winning team
Get your steemit head on
Together we can make this dream

wow! Thanks so much, @papa-pepper !!! I just opened my laptop and I saw my wallet !!!! I'm really really happy!!! You make my morning a very good morning and this is my happy face ^_^

I am very glad that you were blessed by winning!

There were very few entries last round, but yours stood out to me! Thanks for entering!

Gorgeous response. I would like to collaborate and draw your beautiful photo when I get the chance. I'm not a brilliant artist but you're too cute. It's so nice when these comps bring so much joy.

Thanks so much, @girlbeforemirror ! I'm honored that my photo inspired you!!! ^_^

This is such an intriguing mix of all kinds of goodness! I love how you have this all shaken up into opportunities across the genres of art. What a fun initiative -- love seeing how excited people are to play with you @papa-pepper! Great job! I also love what the artists are bringing to the table -- exciting to see the collaborative efforts in such smooth flow.

No kidding the individual talents of the steemians are amazing, and many are willing to step out of their comfort zone to try something new too! (I'm not missing any genres of art or any other layers that I could add to the contest, am i?)

I think you've got it covered--and well at that!! I love what you're doing, giving so many artists a chance to get involved and pushing their limits!!! Way to go @papa-pepper. You're an inspiration!

Very nice example @papa-pepper! Maybe I'll try my hand at this one.

Give it a go! (You can't win if you don't try!)

Midnight posting late to bed,
Dreams of whale-dom fill my head.
Before dawn my cherub sings,
Yet to learn to use his wings.
He has breakfast I have coffee,
Half awake my head still lofty.
Holding remnants of my dream,
The image fades on my minds screen.
As the sun does finally rise,
I ponder if my post was prized.
I reach across for my device,
Like coffee steemit is my vice.
Sleep and it's visions now erased,
With Steemit hopes it is replaced.
Delight to see a friendly note,
Accompanies a few up votes.
With steemit and my cyber mates,
Calmly I await my fate.

Thank you. I am slightly medicated and in hospital, so I'm not terribly trusting of my judgment when it comes to stringing words together right now.
