We are from now on posting this contest post every Sunday - that gives you a whole week to recommend a favorite poem. Find this post right after you read a poem as you visit the Freewriters.
You can enter as many times as you wish to increase your chances to win!
Each comment must be at least 50 words long and tell us something about the poem.

Hola mis queridos amigos, hoy quiero recomendar el poema que @larryparra escribió en el proyecto Spanish Freewrite para el tema "mercado de pulgas". Queria recomendar a este amigo porque 1)él realmente se dedica a las artes plásticas y es uno de los mejores reposteros que tiene el Estado Zulia en Venezuela. Hace un tiempo aceptó con algo de temor la invitación a escribir para el proyecto, y lo hizo de manera sensacional. Últimamente ha colocado unos poemas muy cautivadores como este que les presento aquí... Él combinó el tema del mercado de pulgas para hablar de alguien que busca comprar un "amor" o una "amada". Su poesía es rítmica y agradable espero que les guste:

Thank you for being the first!! 100% upvote for you!
Hello my dear friends, today I want to recommend the poem that @larryparra wrote in the Spanish Freewrite project for the theme "flea market". I wanted to recommend this friend because 1) he really dedicates himself to the plastic arts and is one of the best bakers in Zulia State in Venezuela. Some time ago he accepted with some fear the invitation to write for the project, and he did it in a sensational way. Lately he has placed some very captivating poems like this that I present here ... He combined the theme of the flea market to talk about someone looking to buy a "love" or a "beloved". Your poetry is rhythmic and nice I hope you like it:
I was pleasantly surprised with what the prompt "On The Other Side" did for @rokhani
Reading it gave me all sorts of ideas on stories I could write
That's what creativity is supposed to do right? Inspire

The other one is from @tristancarax
I have to admit, it had me until the last two lines and then I was like... "What happened here?" haha
Go have a read here

Is about the superhero we all are! The one who can do anything, but who can't be ourselves. Because what are you? It's written in short stanzas with a nice repeated phrase that turns the lens not only on who we are ourselves, but also on the other people in our lives.

I saw this one last night before I went to bed by our resident kitty cat @whatisnew. It's a cute little poem on the prompt describe your shoes. I think everybody has a favorite pair of shoes, that go to pair, for getting a pedicure or a short trip to the market. We really don't have seasons in Texas 🇨🇱 so I use my favorite pair year round. Go visit 🐈 poem and give it an upvote! I think you'll like it.

@wordymouth writes a beautiful poem describing the transformation of the summer sky beginning at sunrise and throughout the day before a summer storm hits. This isn't 50 words but I wanted this poem to be included. https://steemit.com/freewrite/@wordymouth/postmeridian-cynosure-reflected-in-morning-light

You have done more than writing 50 words so many times!!! :)
How nice of you. Thanks so much! : )
https://steemit.com/freewrite/@cryptocopy/describe-your-shoes
Today I found this cool poem by @cryptocopy on the prompt describe your shoes. They describe how you should not judge a person by the look of their shoes. They may be worn and comfortable for the everyday challenge with children or new and stylish for a night on the town. I have to admit, I look at a women's shoes before I look up...at her eyes! 👠

Thanks for the recommendation! Hehe... I couldn't choose which pair of shoes to describe.
https://steemit.com/freewritepoetry/@emms/the-pill-freewrite-prompt-pill
This week I would like to nominate @emms poem on the prompt pill. Too often, doctors are quick to prescribe medication to a patient without even testing or diagnosing an illness. My sister got her doctor to send a prescription to the pharmacy to treat her, and she's never been tested for gout before. I'm sure it wasn't an addictive pill but still. Make sure you take your medicine as prescribed. Great job @emms. 👏

That is a fun one :)
https://steemit.com/freewrite/@wordymouth/heart-tears-flow
I saw this one today by @wordymouth, on the prompt tears, and it had me balling like a little girl. How anybody can put eleven words together to bring so much feeling to ones heart 💓 is beyond me. I just hope that if I keep doing #freewrites, I might have the inspiration to create something so beautiful. Excellent work wordy! 👏

Utopia with a Goddess
I dreamed that I undressed you slowly I
felt that you were burning me,
that your damp and resplendent hair
in the bathroom was falling
in love, in that utopian place I saw you lead
the body that to my tired eyes you offered, I
also remember how you tried to seduce
and hypnotize my life the rest of my days,
I could see how the doorknob
melted when your body brushed it,
you were burning lava that devoured everything,
a burning rock on a deserted beach,
I came to think that we fought a battle
that beat me in mourning and Your body won me
but with a quick movement I removed the towel,
already soulless I could see Venus as I imagined it,
when from that ethereal dream I could wake up
my life would not be the same, I could not dream again,
nor see in flea market or in a similar place
only at the end of my life I would return to find…
Honrado y agradecido por vuestra postulacion, me encanta esta familia de escritores, Saludos
