If you have been following the recent wave of event surrounding the poetic-surge then I'm sure this is a moment you have been waiting for. I'm glad to announce the first ever poetic-surge poetry contest.
Rules
•Resteem (to increase visibility) and upvote this post (to increase its payout).
• Write a poem based on the given theme and referral poetry for the week.
•Title your entry post "Poetic-surge Poetry Contest and the contest week, with the title of your poem in bracket. Eg- Poetic-surge Poetry Contest #1 (Empty desires)
• Use #poetic-surgecontest and #poetic-surge as your tags.
• Drop the link to your entry in the comments. All participants should be sure to get an upvote from me and @ajremy (0.2$), thats the most we can give for now,, but SOMETHING BIG IS COMING
The theme for this week's contest is "Emptiness"
And here is the referral poetry
Bare
The dye dies upon my head
As my cache of cash
Depletes without spend
The year is here
when I bear my bare mind
That deletes without care
-by @ajremy
Any type or form of poetry is allowed and there is no stipulated number of lines or stanzas so you're free to express yourself poetically however you like.
Reward Pool
1st place- $25
Runner up- $15

Every contestant would receive an upvote from me and @ajremy
The winning poem will be featured in the poetry appreciation contest to be anchored by @ajremy and the poet would be given half that post's payout.
The contest runs until the 27th of January and the results would be announced on the 28th of January along with the Poetry appreciation contest.
