Day 8 of the 'Pocalypse Poetry Challenge for Steem-Pocalypse DAY 4 ROUND 2 (25 SBD in prizes to be won)

in #steem-pocalypse7 years ago

Hello my dear Poeteers...

Let's start with our next chosen winner, as we are still playing catch up...

Day 5 Poetry Pocalypse Winner: @improv

https://steemit.com/steem-pocalypse/@improv/pocalypse-poetry-5

We really enjoy @improv's fun style, as well as everyone else's poems. It is such an agonizing decision every day, but we love it.

Welcome to day 8 of the 'Pocalypse Poetry Challenge.

As most of you know by now, this is a daily poetry contest that is hosted by @hopehuggs, @superbuckles and @novaatebatman running alongside Steem-Apocalypse.

Day 8's dilemma is to take the rocky path, try to find a better route or curl up and sob?

What outcomes has @papa-pepper already decided

We will be varying who posts the 'Pocalypse Poetry Challenge and Contest, so make sure to pay attention and not to miss a single post!

We may not stick to any order either, as for whatever reasons one of us might be too busy or out that day, or going to London tomorrow. Yay!

It maybe helpful for you to follow each of us, but that is up to you. We each will resteem the challenge day.

A Reminder of the Prizes

--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 $10 SBD prize.

--Grand Prize 2: The person that writes a poem for every day of STEEM-POCALYPSE will receive a $15 SBD prize. In the event that multiple people accomplish this, the three judges will go over their poems and decide upon one winner.

(And remember if you can spare any more time writing poems, don't forget about all these poetry competitions)

Sort:  

Not at all! It's a chorus in here!

The most rhythmic Steem-Pocalypse ever!
I wish Papa would drop freestyle on us more frequently!

Helping Hands

To skirt around the city,
or risk the unsafe path?
For those alone, I have pity.
Two, better than one; the most basic of math.

If I should slip and fall,
a helping hand shall reach out.
Partners to heed each call,
like twigs, lashed together, are unbreakably stout.

Our bellies full of greens.
Two days till we eat again.
Safer paths, and substantial means,
Seek we together, pressing on toward the win!
