The rules here are simple:
1 - I will choose the subject matter.
2 - You will write a tribute piece to that subject.
3- The subject MUST be the focus of your poem.
4 - Use #odechallenge as your first tag so that it
is submitted for consideration.
5 - Post a link to your poem in the comments of
this post.
at midnight (EST) for the week of the challenge.
Winners will be chosen and announced on Saturday (EST) of that week
Poems will be judged for their originality,
creativity, and focus of the subject.
You ARE NOT being judged on how many comments you get so if you see a
poem by another artist that you enjoy let them know.

@japhofin8or... YAY and thank you. I do so love these and am glad I could find a moment to get in the game.
A hearty congrats to the other participants, especially to my co-winners. <3 @pyrowngs and @girlbeforemirror
I'm glad you enjoy this. I enjoy seeing how the writers express themselves. Keep writing!
This is my latest favourite new contest. Thank you again for seeing something in my little rhyme.
This weeks topic is perfect. I am brainstorming already.
Glad you enjoy this! I knew there was untapped talent on STEEMIT and all of the participants in this challenge and the #poetrydice challenge prove me correct. Keep up the work. I love to read the writes!
I smashed this out.
Happy if you want to extend it, and welcome some competition.
Sometimes steemit has weeks that drop off. Don't be disheartened. Keep it rolling.

Sorry I couldn't make the deadline :-(
Here's what I wrote...
To my favorite t-shirt
Do you know what you’re worth?
Even when you’re covered in dirt
You shine to me
For what it’s worth…
Last night I took you out
To the ball game in the field
I scream while you shout -
My pride for kittens showing…
When you are on me, I yield
There’s nothing like the softness of you
All worn in like a tattered old boot
And I model in you
In the morning, after sex
Because I know I look cute…
Seems like that kind of week. I didn't get a single entry till Thursday night! I'm behind my self. Haven't even chose a subject for the next yet. Got tunnel visioned into art programs today. I'll have the next posted soon and winners announced.
OMG!! Sorry. I also love the ode. Playful and cute. And who doesn't love kittens?
