Day 12:'Pocalypse Poetry Challenge for Steem-Pocalypse DAY 6 ROUND 2 (45 SBD in prizes to be won)

in #steem-pocalypse7 years ago (edited)

Hello lovely Pocalypse Poets

Did you you see the change in the amount in SBD prizes?

Yes @papa-pepper has added to the pot. Thank you @papa-pepper.

And of course thank you @em3 too for giving the competition and extra 5 SBD and asking @papa-pepper to donate prize funds too.

And there may be more prize funds too now, but I just need to check that it is still the case, before I add them here.

So the prize pots now look like this...

--Daily Winners: Every day the three judges will pick their favorite poem from that day and all three will resteem it.

--Grand Prize 1: At the end of the contest the three judges will go over all the daily winners and decide upon their overall favorite poem. That poem will be awarded a $20 SBD prize.

--Grand Prize 2: The person that writes a poem for every day of STEEM-POCALYPSE will receive a $25 SBD prize. In the event that multiple people accomplish this, the three judges will go over their poems and decide upon one winner.

We still have our dedicated 8 in play:
@matthewtiii
@hypexals-spiral
@stinawog
@clayboyn
@improv
@deemarshall
@em3
@zf3eddiev6

Okay so, next...

Winner of Day 9

A Clown Juggling Chainsaws

We all left the city behind. Some, through the GI tract.
And we trekked through the woods.
Without spook or attack.

Until at last, from the enchanted wood emerged.
To be greeted by a beardo:
"Come hither," he urged.

What to do? What to say?
I don't want to see what an overly friendly beardo thinks is neat.
I bet he's planning dinner,
and we're what he plans to eat.

Run away, or go and play,
the decision is kind of hard.
Pray beardo doesn't roast us...eyes closed, flesh charred.

Welcome to day 12 of the 'Pocalypse Poetry Challenge

It all about the shrooms today...

Sort:  

More "L"s - A More Beautiful World

Fungus is among us, and fungus is fine.
Though not every fungus is safe and benign.

In the woods now we find a treasure trove rare.
Oh, if only @papapepper had cast iron and butter to spare.

We'd fix up a morsel so tender and sweet,
The kings of the lands would be dying to eat.

Sadly, apocalypse trouble has befallen these lands,
And we'll eat them each raw, with our rough, dirty hands.

But as we do eat them, if just for a while,
We'll dream we are kings, each choice not on trial.

Taking a respite from the worries of this zombie-land curse,
And relaying it all in humble prose and verse.

My poem from yesterday! I posted it last night but haven't been on Steemit again until now today.

The rhymes are getting intense! I am glad so many people are hanging in to the end!

Also, I'll point out that you accidentally tagged @novaatebateman when you meant to tag @novaatebatman

Thank you. I think you have proofreading in your blood :) Fixed. I wonder how many posts I've done that in.

All of them. I'm sorry I didn't mention it early, but I didn't want to be a pill.

I've been copy and pasting that bit lol. Not at all, we should get it right.

I figured. The first time I saw it, I thought, no big deal, just a typo. The second time I saw it, I thought, "oh no, she's copying the typo" This time I knew I had to do something. #thisiswhatheroismlookslike
