Welcome to the second week of Friday Poet's. Last week we did okay for our first sojourn within and then on paper. I was pleased but I would love to see an even bigger turnout. There could be prices, but that will be up to you.

The rules of participation

  • Up vote this post and re-esteem it. I will be checking. By reesteeming we grow the audience and support each other. You know make Friday Poets a thing. To be eligible for price payout, this has to happen.
  • Visit at least three other Friday poets and comment and up vote their COMMENT here. You can also upvote their post if you got the upvote power but it is not necessary.
  • Drop your link below to a poem you wrote today … that’s Friday wherever you are. I know some of you are taking part in the 100 days of poetry with @d-pend and the steemitschool. These poems are more than welcome, as are any other poem challenge/contest entry. The only stipulation is that you wrote it today … FRIDAY. So go ahead and double up.
    Make one of your tags #fridaypoets and place @prydefoltz in the title
  • I will upvote and comment, to the best of my ability, on everyone who takes part having followed the rules and reesteem the one’s that tickle my fancy. I should be able to get to everyone within the week. So that will be two upvotes one for your comment and one for your post. I will do my best to make sure the upvote is over the burn-off level.
    (A comment/blog that is upvoted but the total value of upvotes is less than 3 cents, receives no payout. The amount is burned off.)
  • The liquid payout from this post (SBD) will go to the winners(those who receive the most upvotes in the comment section) and/or depending on payout received to those that participated the most.
  • I will take part in the contest by writing a poem but I will NOT share in the SBD payout.
  • Have fun and maybe crack a smile.

Upvote and Re-esteem, tell your friends. The more people that get involved, the more I can reward the participants and the winners. I really want to see the poetry community, enmasse, enriched on steemit, but we really do need to support each other.

A wonderful contribution, indeed:)

Same here, recharging the struggle is real....

I like the way you address the stereotypes surrounding your country. It is sad that we have come so far as human beings and still have so far to go. Great write. You should be proud!

Yay! I been looking forward to this all week, here's my entry Moonlight Sutra

Your poem seriously reminds me of the days of my youth when partying wasn't about a party. It was about relaxing, getting high with a couple of beers or a bottle of Fireball, and having deep conversations about nothing and everything all at the same time. I don't go to those places anymore. Thanks for letting me sit on the porch with you for a moment.

Aw yes, a bottle of fireball, talking about nothing and everything all the same, your always welcome to discuss strange mysteries with me...

Wonderful:) Great that you have joined in:)

Here is my contribution to #fridaypoets. I will not be sharing in the SBD of this post but I do want to take part. I appreciate the read:)

Just read your post. I am sure that the majority of the older men who read it, like myself, will catch a glimpse into their past. It is a real and raw walk through life. It will kick your ass sometimes, you will look for escape, and you will gain wisdom along the way from the mistakes you make. Great poem and I enjoyed it.

Thank you, Japho:)

No worries, Paramind. The post hasn't been up for long and you are first. It is a good place to be:) But please check back later for the other entries:)

I just read your poem. I really enjoyed the 'circle of life' feel of it. Every living thing has a purpose in this world and sometimes that purpose is to nourish another creature. I'm sure the frog ate many bugs before his demise. Sad for the deer, he eats plants. His only purpose in life is to be a meal. It was a good poem.

Here is a blackout poem I just finished especially for Friday Poetry Exchange. Hope you all enjoy it.

I always find these blackout poem amazingly interesting, on what strange mysterious they pull out of the unconscious.

That is quite amazing, pulling a gem from the stones.

Hello. I just learned this poetry contest. Here's a poem that I made yesterday. I hope you visit. 😊
