Congratulations to the Winners of Week 14!
A total of 15 STEEM and 6 SBD have been distributed. Special thanks go out to @rensoul17 for working hard on giving helpful and detailed feedback to the participants. Please pray for her as she is experiencing difficulty this week from the aftermath of the hurricanes wrecking across the Eastern U.S.
1rst Place - @poeticsnake
BONUS Points for making the theme of your poem "All Hallows Eve"!! You won 7 STEEM + 3 SBD! Thanks for joinging in with us this week. I was pleasantly pleased by your submission this week and I think it deserves 1rst Place for excellent use of the dice images in your poem and for the scary vibe I felt, which is quite appropriate this time of year. Congrats on winning!
"When the moon was full, on All HALLOWS Eve,
A foggy mist rolls in, and my eyes do deceive
A small giggling child, with eyes open wide,
Shuts off her Boombox, running around the corner to hide,..."

2nd Place - @clayboyn
A truly superb poem entry this week, @clayboyn, maybe one of your best! Your words were powerful and told a story oh, so relevant to today's struggle. Thank you for sharing your brilliance with the poetry community. May this story live on in Steemit lore forever!
"I was getting lit driving home from work,
Got pulled over and the cop was a jerk.
He threw the book at me and locked me up,
Claimed he tossed away the key, just my luck.
The legal system is tough in my state,
Can go to the big house without much weight..."
Excerp from @clayboyn's poem: Busted
3rd Place - @girlwithoutwings
@jonknight was a close tie, but I went with you because of your unique style. You really put out a classic this week! Congrats on earning placement once again in the PDC3K! It is such an honor to have you here in the poetry community. Thank you for putting yourself out there! This poem is truly a work of art. :-) Cheers~!
"Click, click clatter.
Unbalanced meander:
Night time wind
Sucks; blows;leaps;
Sows
Song seeds
'Mongst
Broken locks.
Chipped window panes.
Rattle rattle..."
Excerpt from @girlwithoutwings poem: Safe as Houses
Rules
- Create a poem using all 9 or (10) images on the dice (above).
- All 9 images on the dice must be referenced at least once, each, in the poem. [Images are interpreted loosely. How you interpret (or assign the image meaning) is up to you and will not count against you.]
- Make a post from your poem and use “poetrydice,” as your first tag.
- Label your entry clearly. Include "Poetry Dice Entry:" in your title, so I know it's official.
- Drop a link to your post in the comments section (below).
- The 10th (Mary Jane) dice is optional. Reference MJ in your poem the corresponding number of times as leaves on the die.
Deadline to enter contest is next Saturday at Midnight PST (UTC-7)
Winners will be announced weekly
