Recommend Your Favorite Freewrite Poem - Week 14
A Favorite Freewrite Poem
Recommend Freewrite Poetry is now a weekly event at the Freewrite House.
So many of you are gifted poets and sometimes, we don’t find all the wonderful poems. As always, all of us together are going to be so much better. We see more poems and all of us have different tastes and opinions. We like to hear them!
We extended the time for this contest and you now have three days to find a Freewrite Poem and participate. Please, help us find the talented Freewrite Poets out there so we can feature them.
Win, Win, Win!!!

We want to make it super easy for you. Your task is to tell us in the comment section about one - or more- freewrite poems of others you have read in the last week you really liked. Not your own!!
Please make sure to search beyond the #freewritepoetry and #freewritepoetrydigest tags. Not all poets use them and we want to find them all!!!
Please make sure that the poem you recommend was inspired by a freewrite!
Remember the comment must be at least 50 words long - no upper limit!
In an ideal world, you also give that person a nice upvote - but we are not going to check on that.
So, to be entered into the drawing, tell us about a Freewrite poem you really liked and why.

Finding a Freewrite Poem
If you are not familiar with the daily freewrite prompt and the many wonderful writers who produce the most amazing 5-minute (or sometimes much longer) Freewrites, go to @mariannewest and look for the prompt. The graphics look like this
In the comments, you find lots of links to all kind of Freewrites and Freewrite poems. We are asking the poets to use the #freewritepoetry or #freewritepoetrydigest but not all do. Search high and low for those wonderful poems.

I ran across this beautiful piece by @rensoul17 on the prompt not smart. If this poem doesn't make you stronger after you read, I'll refund your upvote. It was like I was reading a diary of my life, written by someone else. I believe everyone will see a little piece of themselves, in this writing. Please take the time to read this! 👏

This is my first time reading a superb poem from a brain which is totally funked up. Imagine if the brain is not funked up what sort of poem will come out. I enjoy reading it, so synchronised the rhyming and rhythm, and I seriously think a rapper can use them for lyric or even a song writer can compose some song out of it. The title will be "all funked up!" You should check it out, all funky punky. I can actually hear the rapping coming in. Haha

Heck yeah.
I'm recommending @stinawog's https://steemit.com/freewrite/@stinawog/5-minute-freewrite-orange-blossom
It feels so true, like a legend that just might be. Maybe it is. Yeti tree sounds like a myth, but stranger things exist in nature. Regardless, it feels like the fable told and then transformed into a metaphor for everyone and for the here and now. I'm so dang proud of @stinawog (did I mention she's my wife?)

Freedom is such a tricky word and subjective. And even though it is an individual experience, it is a collective achievement. So to take the simple things in life, the things that some of us take for granted, to cherish it, we may actually feel the weight off more often. And I like the last line in this poem by @aislingcronin which you can read right here:
