Dear Friends

Thank you for visiting my Blog.

Through lyric poetry a person transmits a certain state of mind, usually characterizes their values by introspection and expression of feelings.

Lyrical poetry requires an effort of interpretation to the reader, usually there is a presentation of images and elements with symbolic value. Most lyrical poems are characterized by their brevity.

A poem is the direct expression of the poet's feeling to the reader; that is, it must be considered a kind of confidentiality done alone.

Lyric poetry, being eminently subjective and being expressed, very often, in the first person, becomes, thus, an autobiographical account, although we must not confuse the poem's self with the author behind it, since it may be expressing feelings that he does not feel in reality, with what the poem would be no more than an aesthetic exercise.

I have dared to promote a lyrical poetry competition, here I include the results of the fifteenth edition whose key word was * sweetie * and the call for the sixteenth edition is presented.

Fifteenth edition

For the fifteenth edition about sweetie, my friends @sacra97, @aplausos, @antoniarhuiz, @charjaim, @salvao, @aurodivys, @maparari, @marybellrg. @issymarie and @darkfemme with their poetry they gave warmth to the contest.

This is a participation of the winners:

Winner 3 SBI : @aurodivys

Her poetry entitled Cariño Sincero, shows a synthesis of her love that she feels for her puppies writing for them a simple and affectionate poem. It represents a sample of what many people feel for their pets.

Sus ojitos me observan
y mi corazón palpita
en las mañanas me alegran
agitando sus colitas.
....

Runner UP 1 SBI : @salvao

With the prose "A mi hermano Antonio". Our friend @salvao expresses in the form of poetry childhood memories with his brother Antonio, being that we share similar memories with our brothers.

En caminar muy pausado,
de la mano,
está el amor verdadero.
Vente conmigo mi hermano
a caminar sin rodeos
por este mundo bizarro
de cobayas, dragones y chorreos
...

Special recognition

My special thanks to the rest of my friends @sacra97, @aplausos, @antoniarhuiz, @charjaim, @maparari, @marybellrg. @issymarie and @darkfemme. For each of them I have assigned the humble amount of 0.05 steem that I hope will compensate your continued effort in giving this platform the place that will soon be recognized worldwide.

Lyrical poetry contest - Joy

When you rise in the morning, give thanks for the light, for your life, for your strength. Give thanks for your food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason to give thanks, the fault lies in yourself. Tecumseh

Now in this opportunity I have to refer my friends a new call for the lyrical poetry contest, considering that each of us has a perception of what joy (alegría) represents.

My contribution

Reflecting on the theme of this new call to contest I leave my contribution:

When contemplating the waves of the sea
my excited soul feels the joy
to feel the lost freedom
for the closure of the city.

I ask God to allow me
extend your arms to the infinite ocean
contemplate the extent of your presence
and not faint in the attempt.
