@damianjayclay and @nikisteem
are proud to bring you a new poetry writing competition.

The Kudos Poetry Competition has only TWO rules:

We would like to apologise to the steemit community for imposing our previous rule to follow, resteem and upvote this post. We should not have made that mandatory. Please note that this is not a requirement. However we thank all of those who have done so.

1. Write a short poem in no more than 50 words, on any subject you choose, in any form or in free verse.
For those who would like a prompt, here is an interesting photo prompt from @quoll.

Your footer says you're looking for reasons to vote for witnesses. The Writers Block has several witnesses working hard for writers on the platform, including me (under the Sircork witness,) Swelker101, anarcho-andrei, and others.

Hi Rhondak! Yes I know;) I already added you guys as witnesses after the PYPT at the Ramble server. I will add Sircork to my footer. Thanks for joining the contest!

That is awesome. You rock, @nikisteem! :-) Thank you!

Thank you for organising!

Congratulations on your new book! Wow I wish I had the ability to write a whole book;) @Damianjayclay has written some books and his work is incredible too💋 good luck with the competition @nobyeni !

Thanks for creating this competition. I had loads of fun trying my hand at poetry accompanied with a photo I shot in Tokyo recently...

ENJOY! :D

Wait how did that Godzilla get into your photo?? You have to let us know! And I think we will hear the screaming of our neighbours as Godzilla trampled on their homes and cars long before we see him! He is after all bigger than KL Tower! Anyways good luck for the competition @patlu I like you photo very much;)

Thank you for your compliment @nikisteem!

If the real Godzilla was there, I wouldn't be there calmly taking a photo. Haha!

Godzilla on top of the building is part of the attractions in downtown Tokyo. Unfortunately, the photo was captured with my smartphone. Regretted not lugging my Nikon DSLR and long lens along to capture a clearer picture... but then it would be like carrying baby Godzilla wherever I go... too heavy for this old backbone of mine.

Ouch! Hope I didn't reveal my age! ;)

Thank you for the opportunity..
Here my entry..
