Well I suppose it rhymes lol
My first poem:
It was a long night
and the moon was so bright.
She held my hand and read me a poem
at the Coca-Cola Dome.
It was full of steam,
It felt like a dream.
When I woke up
I won 25 Steem.
Nice one. I like.
That's obviously your first poem, husband. Lol.
I like it!
:)
Great one!
I've been losing momentum with my poetry writing but the 'first or worst' theme turned out to be the prompt I needed to keep going (thanks🙂). Here's my entry: https://steemit.com/runawayrhymes/@elementm/runaway-rhymes-entry-first-scrabble-tournament-2017627t0933153z

My Entry: Continuous Cycle of Life
https://steemit.com/poetry/@droucil/continuous-cycle-of-life-an-original-poem-runaway-rhymes-contest
First love
I saw her in front of lab
I felt a feeling fab,
I did a little dab
And took her number slab,
Than we did some talking
And went on a little walking,
Ocassionaly did some stalking
When my heart went on hawking,
Then I took her on a date
Omelette was that we ate,
We got a little late
As we let the clocking blate,
We went on travels together
sharing moments we will miss ever,
The Love the feelings will last forever
But she can't be mine ever. 😖
Love all... All of this just came out in a flow :)
Nice flow, keep on flowing, you have the knack.
Thank you very much.... :)
Wonderful I also love when poems come to me in a flow.
Thank you.. .. I Would love to read some of your poetry :)
Here is my entry:
WORST
I know I wanted to say something,
I wanted to write the best poem ever.
With an eager heart I took my pen and paper
Only to think of sly memories of you and how from here, somehow, you did sever.
Your absence leaves me like am curst.
Everyday, for your fatherly guidance, i do thirst.
I will never again feel the atmosphere of those days when you were alive.
And that's the part that's worst.
Maybe I should just walk to the Hearst.
Is that where you rest?
I need to see clearer,
This is no song of happily ever after.
And like every good song we did sing,
From here, someday, it'll sever.
I need to walk again...,
Close my eyes and wish you were here again.
My eager heart feels the pain.
But this is what I have gained.
My poem, for a longtime, will reign.
Worst Summer
Instead of the seaside,
I'm taking a mere ride,
to the nearby creek,
my fortune to seek.
I slept on the sun,
with Native skin awoke,
dragged home to run,
yoghurt on my stroke.
A brilliant little poem. Thank you for entering.

I graciously thank you for viewing and reading my work. Enjoy, be well and Steem on
I had a go @hopehuggs, it wasn't easy this time,
Felt like pulling teeth, with every single line.
Lacking in shine,
And heavy on the whine,
Never had I imagined pain percussed by rhyme.

here is mine :)
First Date on a late bowling night,
feelings of butterflies with every strike.
Sparks flying through the sky
which made both of us feel very shy.
Everything went way too good
until he said i love you way too soon!
Shock and horror came in like a raccoon,
as i quickly said good night and ran out of the room!
Seems like the first was also the worst. Great entry :)
It indeed was :D thank you for your kind words!
HAHAHA!!!! RUuuuuuuN!!!! Good work!
Thank you :) running as fast as the wind! :D
Dang that "I love you" ! lol great poem!
:D Thank you! I like yours too :)
I'd run too! Your poem is a powerful image. Thanks for your entry.
Most of us would run probably :D thank you so much!

Here's my entry for this competition. Wow I only stumbled upon this accidentally...brilliant! Great to meet more writers and poets. 😀 Great to meet you all
https://steemit.com/poetry/@katdvine/runaway-rhymes-topic-6-first-or-worst-entry
We stared into each others eyes in a moment of bliss.
It's was then that she asked about my first kiss.
Though I knew she wasn't trying to be rude.
I hesitated, because my first kiss was from a dude.
It was my babysitter's son who first said to me,
The secrets of a french kiss I can teach to thee.
Though the last thing I wanted was to kiss a guy.
The truth was an opportunity to learn I chose not to let pass me by.
Love contests of all types. Upvoted, followed, and I'll be featuring you in Best of Steemit on Saturday, FYI. Great work, and thank you!
Here's my entry: https://steemit.com/poetry/@cristof/runaway-rhymes-6-entry-because-what-the-heck
I like the sound of this. There's a monthly spoken word/ poetry night in my local pub and I've been wanting to write something to perform there so this is a perfect opportunity. Thanks HH.
I'll look forward to reading your entry. I've never been quite brave enough to stand up and read any of my stuff to anyone, let alone a pub full.
My Submission :):
https://steemit.com/poetry/@helpingothers/first-or-worst-contest-poem-by-helpingothers
Great submission, but it doesn't rhyme. This is a rhyming poem contest.
it doesn't rhyme? what do you mean? O: would it be okay if I edited it to make it rhyme more? or is it final submissions only?
No you can edit it, I'll take what is there on 9th July as final submission. The end words need to rhyme, or at the very least every other line (like in my example).
Alright, it's been edited :) https://steemit.com/poetry/@helpingothers/first-or-worst-contest-poem-by-helpingothers
That's brilliant, thanks for editing, will resteem.
Thank you ! :)
A whisper, touching my soul
Searching, perhaps forever
Conceivably not ever
As you gently wipe the drops of dew
From
My heart

Lovely and moving, but doesn't rhyme or have more than 8 lines.
FUN!
I've been away but I'm so glad that you've been keeping up with this. I hope I remember to join in the fun. :D
I was away for a good 3 or 4 months as well, life and depression got in the way, but getting there slowly.
Here is my entry, i enjoyed writing it, but beware, some vulgar words are in my poem.
https://steemit.com/poetry/@ethjunkie/my-first-poem
Its not too vulgar, I was expecting far worse after reading your warning lol. It is a fantastic first worst poem.
Thanks for the great contest @hopehuggs! Here is my entry!

https://steemit.com/writing/@inphiknit/sloth-and-idle-hands-poem-for-runawayrhymes-6
I really enjoyed and related to this poem. Thanks for entering.
Guess everyone has a secret?!
:)
Sadness and Sorrow, cold as Winter's heart.
When life freezes our tear drops, I hate we are apart.
The Summer comes, our spirits are drawn.
I love to see you on first Summers dawn.
Warm and un-thawed our are day.
I wish this green can always stay.
But as the days grow shorter and night go long,
I can remember you by writing this song.
Cold is yet again upon us,
I am so freezing I can't focus.
Summer days come back soon.
I love back to the earth from the moon.
Original Poem and Photography
Love the poem and photo. Thanks for entering.
you're welcome and thanks for the love!
If I could have just one wish,
I would wish to wake up everyday
to the sound of your breath on my neck,
the warmth of your lips on my cheek,
the touch of yours fingers on my skin,
and the feel of your heart beating with mine ...
Knowing that I could never find that feeling
with anyone other than you.
wow, this made me remember some tough situations I've in, that's the beauty of poetry, love it.
Wonderful poem, but it needs to rhyme for this contest.

Don't fall in love if you don't want to get hurt,
If you don't want to cry at late night,
If you don't want to sacrifice for your lover,
If you don't want to put aside your ego.

Great poem, but I'm afraid it doesn't rhyme so this particular one won't be included in this contest. You are quite welcome to enter another rhyming one.
