Steemit Poets United : Daily Dose of Poetry and Prose #48 (@ange.nkuru first try)

in #curation7 years ago

First of I want to wish a happy women's day to all the ladies of poetsunited and the steemit community as a whole. You deserve to have much more than a day and we're so lucky to have you around.

Wawawawa I knew it would be hard but nowhere this much, so many awesome poems that it is hard to just pick 3. So I'll pick 7 instead.

First we have @levitated-mind who posted a piece for the 100 day poetry challenge. In it I think he perfectly plays around with how late. pregnancy could be compared to Africa's situation as of right now. The hope, the fear and the weariness, it's all there. But it also shows the strength and courage it took for her to reach so far and her determination to not give up.
You can see the full piece here (https://steemit.com/poetry/@levitated-mind/100day-steemit-school-poetry-challenge-day-1-86d1a881c1edf)


Then we're gonna talk about @cheryldavis's "I love you" in which she perfectly describes the days of yearning for someone and falling in love. The flow is strong with this one. lol You can check it out here. (https://steemit.com/poetsunited/@cheryldavis/i-love-you-a8b907b0b9d2e)

3rd we have @warpedpoetic with yet another awesome collection.(might be my favorite so far) . So far my favorite is either "violence is" or a storm is coming but who knows a plot twist might be coming soon. You can check for yourselves and be the judges, just follow this link: https://steemit.com/poetry/@warpedpoetic/songs-of-mourning-a-collection-of-four-poems

4th is @angelveselinov with his "When the sun don't shine" in which he sombre things the night time tends to bring, but also all the beauty it magnifies and the masterpieces it allows to be created within such small time frame. (https://steemit.com/poetry/@angelveselinov/when-the-sun-don-t-shine)

5th we're going to take a look at @madevi's poem that would make Confucius proud. He describes how uncertainty isn't always bad, matter of fact it aids us when it comes to survival. The poem also says its ok not to know everything, to acknowledge it and embrace it.
You can check his work : (https://steemit.com/poetry/@madevi/if-you-re-not-confused-an-original-poem)

And last but not least we have @quillfire's entry for the 100 day poetry and which he tries to bring about the very hard yet needed PTSD conversation. He talks about a steemian @derangedvisions who suffers from it but found ways to manage it and is now trying to raise awareness through one of his new-found outlets, Videos. He will be showcasing one of them on saturday march 10 noon EST but is also trying to release a full documentary so if you could go and support him I'm sure he'd be appreciative.
To know the full details you could follow through @quillfire's amazing poem

But also here is a link to one of @derangedvisions articles in which he shows immense courage through his vulnerability.
