@papa-pepper, let me show them how it's done.
I'm a bounty hunting Force wizard, living life on the dark side,
Watching the world burn and dragging fools along for the ride.
Why would I care if I'm the only survivor of the apocalypse?
I can build a bot with a personality brighter than the eclipse.
Sitting on my throne, this crown is feeling heavy as all heck,
Let me program another bot to stand by and support my neck.
You wanna learn how to live on the dark side while you steemin?
I'll string you along with promises of success you been dreamin.
You know what, this ain't me anymore though I'd rather build,
How about we remake this world and see true harmony revealed?
I'd rather people that can think and create and share with me,
Than to be locked in my own cage with these bots for eternity.

Epic work, love it!
Woah !!! This entry demotivates other poets to participate. All my hopes of winning broke down after reading this one. :( But I still participated because it is fun. I still wish I could write something so good as this poetry. But, may the best one wins.
I will admit that I am jealous of you @clayboyn. May be someday I could write as good, as you do. Hehe. Have a look at my entry also, it is not that amazing...but its entertaining. All the best :D
Just practice and make a poem that feels right to you. No need to compare it to mine, there are so many different styles of writing and poetry I could easily be outdone just because something else works better. :) I got some motivational videos for you below:
I would not compare it if it wasn't a contest. But if you say so, I would try.
I love dogs :D Thank you for these motivational videos. These are quite funny and cute. :D
Good work.
Good one
Keep the good work
Yup, you aced it. Way to set the bar high. Good thing the rest of the wordsmiths have all week to work on it!
:)
How did you just smash that out. You are a wizard.
If I told you I have never spent more than 10 minutes writing a poem would you believe me?
On the contrary it took me a whole week to start on that zebra and probably two hours to actually draw and color it... Different skills! You the doodle queen!
Doodle queen. Hmm... I hope that one doesn't stick 😂
I'm a King in all this life I live
Steeming is the meaning, all the meme-ing makes me laugh a bit
writing till I crash a bit
oh snap I just crashed the whip
let me make a Steemit post, these Upvotes are emasculate!
Shout out to @full-measure dawg,
The first guy to support the kid
You know I got your back
Steeming even if the world just ends
cocoanut curls
just did my hair so let me vlog a bit
and if i'm lost for time, you know my robo is upvoting it!
I liked the rhythm of this piece. Especially this part:
makes me laugh a bit
writing till I crash a bit
oh snap I just crashed the whip
Good write.
Haha thanks moe!
My entry :- Let the Kingdom come
Shadows from light,darkness I seek !
Haunting my prey,my intention reek !!
I can run from the devil, till light I can see!
I can not hide ,Cause that devil is within me !!
Burying guilt beneath the lies !
Evil pours out of me on a roll of dice!!
I Worship darkness ,evil is my cry !
sitting amidst apocalypse I wonder why ?
I'm irreverent with proud and crown heavy as heck
so transcendental , these minion bots cant touch my neck!
sleeping you guesstimated me to be a novice reader!
son I wrote that book ,bow down to king you bottom feeder!!

Tamed the wild thinkers with plagiarized spirits
The same way Jack Daniels played your eyes with it
Demise of dark inhibits a light that shines vivid
From the block to the Blockchain @rondonson tried, & did it
Central lies will limit minds and inspire bigots
The blind can not extinguish the fire that is within us
I doubt they can divide when our tribe unite with vision
As the world burns the divine will not diminish
Designed to withstand the heat when they try to kill us
Systems we live in are glorified prisons
@dan 's awakening saw us hoarding to listen
Forever changing the way we exchange digits
So we stand united decentralized enlightened
In sweet time the crying chimes to invite smiling
These signs are guidance for life minus the violence
On my throne made of wood
I sit proudly with my crown
And post on Steemit without a computer
My bot relays it somehow...
Don't ask me how she does it
As she adds more to my pool
I sit there with my head tilted forward
Reading a guide that's rather cool
The world can crash and burn like armageddon
But me and my bot will be just fine
We've got everything we need
Including shampoo for my hair to shine.
The world is burning as it's turning
But we keep going strong
Steeming stuff like memes and photos
And also funny songs.
I have to be honest, I like this one the best so far, even better than mine. Wait, did I just say that...I meant second best...a distant second to mine. Seriously though, it's a great write. Good luck.
Haha! Thank you very much @moeknows :-)
Good luck to you too.
If the world shall burn,
I'll say steem on
nor shall I turn,
when the lava encroaches. 🌋
Instead to the kitchen I'll dash
grab my pot with which my eggs I poaches
fill it with water,
run to my door,
and empty it without bother.
Laughing I'll say as I rain down the shower,💦
The world burning only increases my steem power💨
LOL! Excellent entry!
Thank you! I call the style old testament limerick after a couple of my poetic influences.
Haha. Salute to your imagination. :p Keep it up.
Thank you for your support!
All my pleasure. I also wrote a poetry for the contest. Would be glad to receive your feedback :)
Thanks for this fun contest, papa-pepper. Here's mine:
Dear blue Peggy Sue,
sweet robot girlfriend, precious metal boo
with our steem-powered rocket we day trip the ’verse
you tend to my needs, a right naughty nurse
I’m a king on a throne when you rub down my feet
I wish I could build a blue girl-bot fleet
outside our rocket, a sun starts to blow
but inside, damn, I feel your love circuits glow.
Its so good its almost as song already, great flow!
