Congratulations to this week's winner's!

I hope everyone is staying safe and sound out there. I know many people have been affected by hurricanes and natural disasters. I just overheard a man in the checkout line say he came over from Texas to escape the next one. I knew he was from out of town because he had cowboy boots on, lol. Welcome to the bedroom suburb of Portland, Sir! XOXO Prayers to you and your loved ones. May you stay safe from harm.

Poetry Dice Entry: All We Are

[Excerpt]
"Understanding comes to one who seeks
with no station, no fortune, no future.

Discerning our ultimate truth we perceive
these moments are bait in a luna sea..."

PDCK 13 Poetry Dice Comp : A Tale of Two Fishes

[Excerpt]
"There once was a fish
Who yearned for the moon,
Each day he would choose
A direction
He hoped
Might take him home,
But though he swam
And he wandered
Through reefs
And dark waters, ..."

Poetry Dice Entry: "The prairies of your forgetfulness" "Las Praderas de tu olvido"

[Excerpt]
"I go in a distant direction, it's the melancholic breeze that greets
the hill and the grass trace the footsteps of a misguided sheep
derailed to an abyss of emotions, lost and found glances
that fall from your alien shirt, undress you and slip my shirt confidently
which permeates the sweat and mixes in the ocean while feeding the abstract fish..."

• Oh @yusaymon, if we could put the precious life moment in freeze frame and just live there for an eternity, would not our life be in totality....fulfilled. Thank You beautiful soul, I felt your heart.
• This one for me created so many mixes of feelings and emotions. I got caught up in the demand of your excellent word choice. Great work on your English translation @yusaymon! Cheers~! You totally rocked this week's competition! - @robyneggs

Soon to come!

Thanks again for participating in the re-vamped Poetry Dice Challenge 3000! I really wanted everyone to have another opportunity to be inspired by a semi-structured poetry contest that is unique. Rory's Story Cubes have been an inspiration for me for many years, and Steemit has provided an opportunity for me to share that inspiration with you.

Whether you are taking a break from your own flow, or you desperately need pushed over the writer's block edge...this poetry challenge is for you. All of us coming together and sharing our versions of how the dice speak to us, is what makes this weekly challenge so great. I hope the roll of the dice will continue to be an inspiration for you and the ones close to you. Cheers! And thanks for all you do!
