The winners of the Steemit Poetry Contest #6
1st Place - "My Sister's Hero" by @johnwjr7 Too touching to pass by!
There are many definitions
of what a hero could be
And from my sister's description
that hero could be me
You see my sister needed a kidney
back in nineteen ninety-five
And if it wasn't for me donating
she wouldn't be alive
I really don't feel like a hero
it's just something I had to do
But I do get a warm sensation
when she tells me, "I love you"
2nd Place - "The Heroes we Admire and Aspire to be" by @rayne122 This poem "hooked" me...
Hero, it means "Demi-God" in Greek.
Sometimes considered a human and sometimes a freak.
What makes a hero is not the power inside,
but the courage, nobility and humanity that reside.
Seas of hope and skies of despair,
No wonder why true heroes are rare.
Right now, heroism is what everyone need.
Some will fail and some will succeed.
A hero is who with a smile in his face,
doesn't waver what's the case.
Many fails to become just like he.
But don't worry, there is a hero in every 'me'.
3rd Place - "Ode to My Cane Cutting Grandma" by @nicholas83 I never thought that I could like prose so much!
Her scars are beauty
Meandering across place and time
Callused, lacerated, are my hero’s hands
A stick in your left. A cutlass in your right.
My hero has no statue. She has no plaque. No prize
I write these lines for her. Who. Now. Is in fleshless form.
Your cutlass echoes... Jesus… your garb as lily white as his skin.
Your burdens are as heavy as his.
My hero carries sugarcane on her head.
Home. In the dimness of dusk, where young ones wait
A callused, lacerated palm caresses each face
After she has set her stick and cutlass aside.

Wow! 1st Place. Thanks for that. I thought there was something wrong with my Steem Dollars. I had to double check to see what was going on. This really does inspire me to continue trying. Now I need to let me sister know about it. She'll be thrilled.
That was a very touching poem. It's like hearing a short story of yours. :)
Well done man. I look forward to your next poem.
Thank you. I am actually working on it right now. I don't know if he will allow me to win 2 weeks in a row, but that is the goal I am shooting for.
Hello! The poem really hits into the heart! Winning two times in a row? Is quite real :)
