Recommend a Favorite Freewrite Poem - Week 6
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!!!
You Tell Us about your favorite Freewrite Poem for a Chance to Win Memberships in Steem Basic Income.

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.

Finding a Freewrite Poem

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.

Child abuse stays with you for the rest of your life. @michellpiala gives powerful and beautiful words of encouragement to victims of child abuse who continue to struggle with their past. This poem would be a priceless gift to give to all who have been traumatized and I hope that that this poem is passed on. https://steemit.com/freewritepoetrydigest/@michellpiala/they-can-t-take-our-light-never-again

This week I would like to nominate @rokhani for their beautiful poem on the prompt: smooth as silk.
They created a poem, describing the creation of a poem. It's pretty deep, so I had to reread it a few times to get the jist of the final project. I believe it's well worth a read and an upvote... Have a great weekend! Great job.

This week I found @cryptocopy's poem here https://steemit.com/freewrite/@cryptocopy/not-as-smooth-as-silk-or-freewrite.
I see this all the time, (particularly at work) where people assume that because they can do something, its easy. Definitely not true, everyone has there own unique abilities, and this was very well stated in this poem. Never assume, some people may struggle with what you find easy, but they have plenty of skills you don't. I loved the message of this poem.
Thank you for the recommendation! That's exactly what I was going for.

I am so loving this poem from @iamjadeline!
Maybe it is because it has the very points I wanted to illustrate and she did an excellent job writing it in the form or a poem. I love her way of writing including all types of burning that leads to different outcome. The poem is simple and yet it resonates with my thoughts. I was thinking how did she do it with so simple words? So, I'm amazed when I read this piece today. It is definitely worth the nomination for the favorite freewrite poem! :)

Among those other poems, I have chosen this since it is somehow relating to how my friend is going through. Happiness in front of others, wiping tears on her own shadows.
Hoping soon I can join this contest.

Bringing @emms to attention for her poem this time. Wow! This really hit hard. I was reading along, enjoying the imagery and then the last part really tied it up and made it so much more than I'd expected! I had to go reread it again because it was about even more than I'd picked up the first time around.
