@hopehuggs, @novaatebateman and @superbuckles will resteem this poem and maybe you could honor them with an upvote of support too.

This is the first entry to be entered into the pot for the favourite poem at the end of the challenge.

(Sorry we are a day behind on announcing daily winners. It's a very hard decision.)

Welcome to day 3 of the 'Pocalypse Poetry Challenge.

This is a daily poetry contest that is being hosted by three people: @hopehuggs, @superbuckles and @novaatebatman that will run alongside Steem-Apocalypse.

Today we are on the hunt for food (well I'm not, as I've been shot dead already). Will you come up with the goods, or leave empty handed?

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.

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

Day 2 Round 1 Poetry Entry

The first day is over and I made it through.
Though the best of the paths, I didn't find. True.

But I wasn't greedy, or crazy or nuts.
Those driving the pickup got cut down by mutts!

Others that chose to go for them all,
got a similar sad fate, not a big Arsen-al!

So alone in the dark with knife in my hand,
I'm searching for food; living off of the land!

There's plants here, I know it, to fill up my gut.
Double-checking each ID, then quietly I cut.

I hope there is plenty, and that I'm not alone.
That each player chose wisely, and each "dog finds a bone!"

Great poem again :) Wish I knew about handling guns for this game but we don't have them where I live. Guns are good for making the game more aggressive. I love the rhythm of your poems.

Congratz @matthewtiii

How did you find the roses in all the soot and ashes?
And how did I not see you there???? I was in the corner near the garden tools rack....shame none of them survived the fire!
Peace!!

I will always find the rose growing from the ashes. 😀

This is awesome. I'm loving steemit by the second :)

This is a great project and this will encourage steemians to think of some good poetry . i will surely resteem this great idea.

Here is my poem. Enjoy!
