@fatherfaith

In Round 1, @fatherfaith won the photo contest!

It was his winning photo that provided the inspiration for the artwork in Round 2, which lead to this winning artwork from @macodi1. This became the base for the MEME contest in Round 3.

THE ROUND 3 WINNER IS…

@japhofin8or FOR THE WIN!

There were a couple that stuck out last time, but this one took the win. I think that it represents a lot of what is possible, and I am looking forward to reading the poetry that it inspires.

NOW WHAT?


Now, it is your chance to write a poem based off of the winning meme from @japhofin8or. Use that amazing meme for inspiration and write your poem! There is no need to have participated in any of the previous rounds. Steemians can jump in on this one any time that they want! The "Official Rules" are below.

Here are the rules for Round 4:


  • Create an original poem based on the winning meme from @japhofin8or.
  • The poem must be at least 8 lines long.
  • The poem must rhyme in some way.
  • The poem will be used as lyrics for a song next round, so you may want to keep that in mind.
  • Enter original work and provide your entry in a reply to this post.
  • You can still make a post out of your entry, but your post does not count as an entry, only your reply.
  • Keep everything kid-friendly and G rated.
  • You must enter prior to the post payout from this post.
  • By entering, you are giving me full permission to use your entry however I wish.

Until next time…

"When Life Gives You Steem - Make Steem-aid"

One day you wake up and find a wonderful place,
You meet new people and put a smile on your face.
You never knew how much giving you could do right now,
Until you've met some great steemians that showed you just how.

Steemit is more than a place that will just help you to learn,
Amazingly it is also a home where many good people can earn.
If you work as a team and remember this as you get paid,
When life gives you steem - make steem-aid!


My entry is on behalf of Play 4 a Newbie Challenge. All proceeds will go to a newbie Prize Pool and hopefully you will get other players to join in your game too!

WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU STEEM, MAKE STEEM-AID

Am going in, am going in, leggo!!!
Never give-up, never break-up,
Let us look-up, while we hold-up,
Not just standing,but setting standards,
Life can only get better,only if we change the manner, with which we look at the matter,
Life is gonna throw us up, life is gonna throw us down,
Life is gonna kick us to the face and tell us to quit in all facets,
Hell yes,the best things in life are never free,
So we keep our heads up even as we keep our hopes high,
Hoping for the best, yet expecting the worse,
knowing that when life gives us lemon, we gonna make lemonade,
And when life gives us steem, we gonna make steem-aid,
For we all need each other to break-through,
Making waves and paving ways,
Just like a recoil of a gun,
I need you to pull through and you need me to create impact.
So we never quit STEEMING, but only AIMING,just to make STEEM-AID.

I am @desmoniac

Loading...

Story of a long, long day gone wrong,
Time and tide of the blockchain so pucker up,
What better way to make things right?
You've got Steem, so try to spread the light,
I don't know what you're after, but you know what they need,
So give out some steem-aid, you ought to take the lead,
Life blows some hot steam, don't exit or be deplete.
You don't have to wait, just gotta give some aid.

Oh my, I will join!

When life gives us Steem, we can make Steem-Aid

Getting Steem is oh so amazing.
Having lots of it is such a great feeling.
You earn it, win it, and get it from sponsors.
Uniting with strangers can make us all winners.

Definitely Steem can change lives.
Truly it may save you from random tools and knives.
Steemit is great when we all make Steem out of it.
Steemit is the "magic" Steem making thing.

Steem is for you and me.
Steem is for everybody.
Oh Steem, you can be our Steem-aid.
Steem is Steem-aid from Steemit mates.

Galing ahh :) :)

Hahaha try lang.

this is very good, congratulations for the winners.

Oh, I LOVE that meme! Well done @japhofin8or!

Congrats @japhofin8or
My entry

I used to think of when "like's" will you value
I tried so many socialnetworks
The more"like's" i got, the more ads i recieved
I thought i was enjoying, only for the social site to sell out data to big companies
They make profit while i got ads
When steemit and i found each other
Their like's give me value
Even if the like's are not big
Atleast, no ads
Steem -value for value
When life give you steem
Make steem-aid
Steem aid can give value to kids in street,kids in ophanage homes, kids with disabilities.
Remember, what makes you successful steemian is not the amount of sbd or steem in your wallet.
But the value and help you rendered.
Steem -"value for value"

Interesting Sir!
I'm reading about this to full details for the first time. It's a nice idea.
I want to ask if I can join or participate considering that fact that i'm to do none of the round
