Next week I will have been posting on Steemit for a month and so to celebrate this milestone in my Steeming history I am launching a small competition to give away 30 Steem.
Using the photographs below as inspiration I would like you to compose a poem about a walk through a woodland/forest.
These photos were taken very recently during a walk in my local woods.
The path to the woods.
A storm shattered tree - the moon can just be seen in the centre of the picture.
The trees are still mostly bare of leaves but new life is starting to show
It was a beautiful sunny day.
My dog - Mutley - is old now but still enjoys plodding along in the sunshine.
There is a gully at the end of walk full of wind fallen trees.
These are the rules:-
Your work must be original.
It must be about a woodland/forest walk - anything that in my opinion is 'off piste' will be ignored.
The piece can only be a maximum of 100 words in length but not including the title.
The closing date for entries will be on my one month Steemian birthday which is the 18th of April. The results will be announced soon after.
You can either post your complete entry in the comments or add a link to a post you have created for the competition.
Prizes:-
There will be three prizes consisting of 15 Steem to the winner, 10 Steem to second place and 5 Steem to third place.
Judging:-
The judging will be based solely on the entries that appeal to me the most (hint - I like unexpected twists!). I am not looking for perfectly crafted poems or masterpieces of English literature. If I like it, it is in with a chance.
Good luck to all entrants. I look forward to seeing your work.
Although not a criterion for entry please consider following me (I will reciprocate). Some of my posts are about mental health issues while others cover a wide range of subjects. For a taster of my musings please follow these links:-
