There were such great entries this week, all of you participants took it to another level! I enjoyed seeing Photo-poetry in multiple languages and even on Gif's! Thank you to everyone who participates and makes this community what it is: GREAT!
Please be patient as your STEEM gets transferred. It should be there within 24 hours :) If you'd like to contribute to the Poetry Slam Challenge, you can contact me in steemit chat (prufarchy), or go ahead and send some SBD/STEEM with "Poetry Slam Challenge" in the memo. Thanks for supporting the arts on Steemit, this challenge and you participants have produced amazing work and continue to inspire and impress!
This week I wanted to put a little structure into the challenge in a fun and engaging way. "If I Ruled the World" presents you with a basic structure and you fill in the blanks. Here's the template:
Line 1: If I ruled the world
Line 2: I'd (Write first thing you would do here)
Line 3: (Second thing you would do here)
Line 4: (Third thing you would do here)
Line 5: If I ruled the world
Line 6: There'd be (Fourth thing you would do here)
Line 7: (Fifth thing you would do here)
Line 8: (Sixth thing you would do here)
Line 9: If I ruled the world
Line 10: You wouldn't (Seventh detail here)
Line 11: You wouldn't (Eight detail here)
Line 12: You wouldn't (Ninth detail here)
Line 13: Or (tenth detail here)
Line 14: If I ruled the world.
Here's an original poem by me, for example:
Poetry Slam Challenge 7: World King (Original)
If I ruled the world
I'd make war uncool and offensive,
encourage all the world to mock the violent
and find better ways to reward peace.
If I ruled the world
There'd be four day weekends
and six hour work days
and an economy that promotes passion.
If I ruled the world
You wouldn't see wanton destruction
You wouldn't hear of banks owning humans
You wouldn't have to choose between family and money
Or neither.
If I ruled the world.
