@michellpiala

@wordymouth recommends a wonderful poem crafted from the prompt eagle scout:

I really enjoyed this poem and its message by @michellpiala. I'm an old man who frequently fails to understand my daughter's struggles as a woman. I just do things; she must conform to things. This was a nice reminder of how woman can break those chains and just be themselves.

@cryptocopy

@iamjadeline recommends a poem crafted using the word *movement by @cryptocopy.

As I do my job as encourager, I am honored to stumble upon her poem. So beautifully written it talked about life as a movement. And show us different types of daily movement in there. The poem caught me by surprise when in the end it mentioned about life happens in moments. Check it out to know what I mean.

And @cryptocopy received another recommendation! from @anonymummy:

I would like to suggest @cryptocopy for their poem. https://steemit.com/freewrite/@cryptocopy/not-like-a-wildflower-or-freewrite.
It draws a parallel between a flower's blooming life cycle and true friends. Withering and becoming less cared for with age. It makes it hard to see who your true buds are amidst an ocean of weeds.
To appreciate what's left.

@saulos

@wonderwop shares a lovely Spanish poem written by @saulos and provides the Google translation for us:

Under the newspapers that has led the wind
I find you covered my love,
today I want to tell you how much I feel
not have found warmth,
but if in the morning you find no consolation
more than a cruel look of bewilderment
do not doubt that there True, under the Amulet, Grudge,
but here on the ground, where there is no body
of you not forgotten the value...

Today I would like to recommend this Spanish poem by @saulos, I had it translated, so you won't have to. I have to admit, I read it slow in Spanish and it seemed to flow better than the translated version. I could be wrong, but I think that my Italian is close enough to Spanish, that when I read it slowly it sounded more romantic. @saulos if I am wrong please let me know. Loved it, either way.

@stinawog

@improv brings his us his wife @stinawog using the prompt dog breath:

I recommend dog breath
Yes, she's my wife, but she also deserves notice for this one, especially! I feel like it evokes so many things we've talked about, like learning to love even gross things, and that that's important if you're going to go on a journey of forever with someone. Also, we have friends who open mouth kiss their dogs, and for a while we thought it was weird, but our boundaries have changed since then. Very sweet dog, lots of love. When you love someone, you want them to be happy, and if licking the inside of my mouth makes my dog happy, so be it.

@anonymummy

Recommended by @wandrnrose7:
I read a sweet poem by @anonymummy using the prompt breeder sharing her thoughts on the tender feelings of motherhood.

I love children especially mine.
Were it not so hard or painful,
I'd be a baby's mum until I died.

Read her poem here:

@darruiz

@darruiz shared a touching poem using the prompts cancer and movement

Google Translation:

As a Cancer
that consumes
is the depression
that you left me.
Cold, withered
like that I feel.

I try not to die
while on the move.
Beginning to live
again,
to smile,
to love.

I want solitude
but not being alone,
but that dog's breath,
which is spite drives
away all
without any remedy.

It is that the pain in me
does not pass from nothing
and to the best hunter,
like exploratory eagle,
that the glance loses
for the killing time.

I
do not know if I'll be back to who I was before
I'm not the first one to have
used anything else
to improve the race
and inside your house.

And the feeling used
inevitably is
worse can be
trying to make life
fighting against
anyone who wants to crush you.
