My goal is to participate in more Steemit challenges hosts by our wonderful members.
It's getting toward the witching hour on this competition but it's not too late to submit your entry!
Here is mine. I hope you enjoy it.
Brave the Waves of Life
Brave the daily waves of life
Of joyous days, sweet love, and strifeFor nothing speaks of better tales
Than weathered storms and happy gales
Of joyous days, sweet love, and strifeFor nothing speaks of better tales

Brave the waves of hurt and truth
From growing pains defined by youthAllows those lessons in your wake
To be a life raft for good's sake.

Brave those waves you salty souls!
Make your mark and set those goals!The dreams you'd hoped for may crash down
But take the chance your risk is sound.

You'll never know until you try
So brave each wave that rolls on by.

How've you been John? I'm catching up on a bunch of reading right now. I watched a whole season of American Horror Story last night/this morning. Total Netflix coma before I "get back to work" :)
doing great! Glad you got at least a few weeks of paid salary - and a break is a good thing :)
I live in UK, but will have last check of runaway rhymes entrants Monday afternoon GMT when I will be choosing winner and sending STEEM to all entrants. I will be sure to be more precise for the next competition. Midnight anywhere and everywhere.
Great poem BTW :)
It's definitely a fun competition. I hope you get a whole bunch of entries. I'll be checking out the tag to see who else entered. :) Thank you for making Steemit fun :)
Love the salty souls!!
LOL me too! I'd rather be a salty soul than a salt lick. :D
I can quite happily agree there!!!
That is very uplifting!
Thank you @sazbird
