Thank you so much for telling us about a poem you liked.

This Week's Contest

Recommend Freewrite Poetry is a weekly event at the Freewrite House.

So many of you are gifted poets and sometimes, we don’t find all the wonderful poems. As always, all of us together are going to be so much better. We see more poems and all of us have different tastes and opinions. We like to hear them!

We extended the time for this contest and you now have three days to find a Freewrite Poem and participate. Please, help us find the talented Freewrite Poets out there so we can feature them.

Win, Win, Win!!!

You Tell Us about your favorite Freewrite Poem for a Chance to Win Memberships in Steem Basic Income.

This week’s sponsors are

The Freewrite House - But it could be you!

We are open and willing to accept sponsorship for any of our contests!

And a huge shout out to @wandrnrose7 who is the curator for the Freewrite Poetry Digest AND a sponsor for this contest!!

  • 2 SBI unit

  • 2 x 100% upvote from the Freewrite House

Winners are chosen by random drawing. Prizes might increase in the future.



  • We want to make it super easy for you. Your task is to tell us in the comment section about one - or more- freewrite poems of others you have read in the last week you really liked.
  • Not your own!!
  • Please make sure to search beyond the #freewritepoetry and #freewritepoetrydigest tags. Not all poets use them and we want to find them all!!!
  • Check the comment section of the Daily Prompt @mariannewest and you will find many.

Please make sure that the poem you recommend was inspired by a freewrite!

Remember the comment must be at least 50 words long - no upper limit!



In an ideal world, you also give that person a nice upvote - but we are not going to check on that.

Basically, to be entered into the drawing, all you need to do is tell us about a Freewrite poem you really liked and why.



The Rules

This is what you have to do for your chance to win:

  • Find a Freewrite Poem
  • Leave us a comment as specified above
  • The comment must have at least 50 words
  • We will let you know if your comment is accepted and give you a number.

Here are a couple of free word count tools:

At 8 PM Pacific time the Saturday after the publishing of this post, we will close the contest and draw the winner through a random number generator.

The winner will be announced and sponsored soon after.



Finding a Freewrite Poem

If you are not familiar with the daily freewrite prompt and the many wonderful writers who produce the most amazing 5-minute (or sometimes much longer) Freewrites, go to @mariannewest and look for the prompt. The graphics look like this

Imgur

In the comments, you find lots of links to all kind of Freewrites and Freewrite poems. We are asking the poets to use the #freewritepoetry or #freewritepoetrydigest but not all do. Search high and low for those wonderful poems.

Also, tell poets you know to start writing with us using the daily prompt.

I see only this post for nominating a poem, not the other freewrites.
You Are the Light by @aislingcronin reminds me how the best poems are often made up of the simplest words. Ordinary every-day words, not fanciful or "five-dollar" or flowery words. This captivated me:
You are the home I never knew
Your face a picture of dreams
And your eyes
Hold a vision of a love beyond time.
There's more - quick, check out the post, before it's too late to upvote!

I find it very hard to find the poems. At Partiko I can not find a way to search by the tag :(
So the only thing I can do is read one post by the other and hope I bump into a freewritepoetry.

One of the hardest prompts so far is the pineapple. @sayee managed to write a poem about this piece of fruit. An ode to the pineapple I would call it. To be honest I would never thought about it as a piece of royalty fruit, wearing a crown...
You can read the poem here

Thank you for searching to find a poem. We have to tell the devs that is a function we want!!

That would be a great service. I think there are less poems plus it would also be great if it would be a just written one.

I ran across this beautiful poem today while delivering the prompt this morning. @michellpiala used the prompt sound of sirens in such a beautiful way. Her poem dealt with letting go in your final moments on this Earth. And how hard it is on your loved ones. It is a must read. Trust me, I'm your Uncle Bruni. 😁

Oh my I just saw this! thank you!!!! And it sure was my pleasure.

Thanks so much for the nomination! : )

Thanks so much @ freewritehouse. : )

I found two poems that I really enjoyed for the prompt, Beacon. One was of love and happiness, while the other was of darkness and despair.
@pixiehunter writes a beautiful poem about her overflowing of love for her newborn that you can't put into words, and how no words are needed for other Mom's to know exactly how she feels. https://steemit.com/freewrite/@pixiehunter/5-minute-freewrite-tuesday-prompt-pineapple

The first thing that comes to mind about a beacon of light is something positive and I would never have imagined it being a bad thing. I was deeply moved with @botefarm's poem on how the beacon of light only brought shame and despair.

It just goes to show you how one word can take you on totally opposite directions.
