Here is an example-poem wrote by me :
❤️Bounty4Love : Heart To Heart❤️
Tonight thoughts of you are vividly strong
To love you this much, how can it be wrong
Though distance is fact, and a major part
I knew of this obstacle, right from the start
To love you this much, how can it be wrong
Though distance is fact, and a major part
I knew of this obstacle, right from the start
Love knows no boundaries, distance, nor time
And my only thought was to make you mine
Love travels the miles on angels' wings
And if returned, it means everything
And my only thought was to make you mine
Love travels the miles on angels' wings
And if returned, it means everything
To kiss your lips, feel your embrace
Your gentle hands caressing my face
These things I long for while we're apart
Yet still I know, we touch with our hearts
Your gentle hands caressing my face
These things I long for while we're apart
Yet still I know, we touch with our hearts
Daydreams take me to a place in time
To a heavenly realm that is so sublime
No barriers, no buffers, nor distance to close
Just two hearts entwining, the merging of souls
To a heavenly realm that is so sublime
No barriers, no buffers, nor distance to close
Just two hearts entwining, the merging of souls
And there we will reign, two hearts as one
Until dealing with distance is finally done
When hearts are the focus, no price is too high
Whatever the cost, I'll gladly comply
Until dealing with distance is finally done
When hearts are the focus, no price is too high
Whatever the cost, I'll gladly comply
And so tonight, as I look to the stars
Two hearts are embracing, 'tho from afar
I've closed that distance, don't be alarmed
My spirit is with you, I'm there in your arms
Two hearts are embracing, 'tho from afar
I've closed that distance, don't be alarmed
My spirit is with you, I'm there in your arms
Looking forward for some great entries :) GoodLuck👍

I can't write love poems but good luck to whoever wins.
I've only ever known one thing about love and that it's like a fart, if you have to force it, it's probably shit.
was wondering where the post regarding the selections and community voting is?
sry for the delay ^^
I thought of skipping the community voting round because of problems due to bot votes.
So i have assigned a Judge for selecting the winners.
The results will be announced in 24 hours, again i am very sry for the inconvenience :)
No problem, was just worried it had been a few days since the last update, glad you are ok!
This is my entry "Longing For A Love So True"
https://steemit.com/poetry/@positivesteem/bounty4love-longing-for-a-love-so-true
Sometimes we treasure our love, only after it is gone
I fully support this contest and hope you get a lot of entries!! As an added bonus, (if @marialin wants) I can announce the winners of this contest on the @steemittalk podcast to get them a little extra recognition! :D
@marialin has been with us for a long while, through both the good and bad times on here, but has always been an impressively strong and love filled person! I'm so glad you've stuck around all this time!
Thanks a bunch :)
My poem! A lover in the making, it's the sentiments of a depressed, hopeless romantic boy regarding falling in love. Hope you love it. ^-^

Question :: does it have to be about Love?
yep, anything related to love.
It can be about your life, fantasy, anything that relates to the theme :)
and do you need the" # " in the title too or just "bounty4love" ?
Bounty4Love : (Name of your entry)
and the post should have the "bounty4love" tag
Roger roger..
Hello @marialin, the spanish poems can participate?
i am sry, i am not familiar with spanish lang. ^^
Excellent I have a love poem or two I could enter. I am also doing a rhyming poetry competition that ends on the 19th June. (https://steemit.com/poetry/@hopehuggs/poetry-contest-runaway-rhymes-5-fiction-depiction)
what's your steemit.chat username or discord-ID ? please contact me ASAP!!
I don't have either I'm afraid. I'm in a Slack group where you can private message me (its a group of minnows who all support each other and vote up each others links), you are more than welcome to join (as is anyone else reading this): https://join.slack.com/minnowmoney/shared_invite/MTk1OTg5MDM5MDYxLTE0OTcxNDEyNjQtMjE1NGI0MjBjNQ
I am so excited for this as I love writing poems, as you can see from my account too!!!
Followed :)
Goodluck :)
Does this rule "No Plagiarism & pre-writes" mean that I can't use a Poem I wrote a year ago?
its fine if its not yet posted on steemit
Oh perfect. I never posted it on steemit. Thank you.
"Poems should be above 4 lines and below 25 lines" which means we won't be getting any Haiku entries. I'm still liking the contest (and upvoting you) because I used to buy Choco-love chocolate bars & take them to work. I'd eat them on break & one day a co-worker asked me what was written on the wrapper. Thus began my poetry readings in front of a live audience. Good times, good times!
Brilliant contest,. thanks for creating it!
I am so excited for this contest, more so because I love love. I shall dream of it and enter!
Thank you for upvoting my photo. If you like that one you will love my other ones. https://steemit.com/@readallaboutit
