RE: Steemit Poetry Contest #8 + Winners of #7!

in #poetrycontest7 years ago (edited)

Hi @terrycraft i hope you're doing well , here is my entry :
https://steemit.com/poetry/@educ.leb/steemitpoetrycontest-8-country-of-illusions

Country of illusions

When i stay alone some illusions comes to me,
Those pictures & feelings really scares me.
To profit from this sensation i close my eyes,
The feeling becomes big,you can't imagine the size.

At first I see myself flying to a faraway country,
right there peoples become easily rich and happy .
I knew this country .. yes i knew it !
I searched it & finaly i find it !

Without a doubt i trusted this illusion ,
My heart beats very fast thinking of a conclusion.
I open my eyes .. am i awake? is it reality?
Im afraid to know, afraid not to know ,oh Unfortunately !

Sort:  

I am not sure if i've chosen the correct place to post this . this is my entry for contest#8" the complaint."

I am writing this to complain,
I'm going to lose again ,
no one seems to care .
The rules are just so unfair.

Like who knows what a quatrain is,
this really takes the piss.
and why can't I copy from the someone like keats.
All these new poets he beats.

And we are supposed to make it all rhyme ,
Well maybe for some that is fine ,
I'm not gonna win . I don't see the point,
can winners be joint?

oops missed that there was a theme - or did I ?

Hi :) Yes, there is a certain theme and the poem should be a separate post, not a comment!

Thanks for that. new to steemit this week . I've some catching up to do but ill get there.i tried separate post as well #poems #poetrycontest #8.
a way i could qualify this to meet the illusion theme criteria ,the poem is written as a complaint letter .but really it is a poem . thus there is the illusion.

you are suppose to write it as a post and then enter the tags #poetrycontest and write the specific headline. then drop the post link here in the comment section.
