New Roll!!
This week's roll is in tribute to the poet "Issa."
Rules
- All 9 images on the dice must be referenced at least once, each. Images are interpreted loosely. How you interpret (or assign the image meaning) is up to you and does not count against you.
- The 10th (Mary Jane) dice is optional. Reference MJ in your poem the corresponding number of times as leaves on the die.
- Make your first tag โpoetrydiceโ, so I can find your entry.
- Label your entry clearly. Include "Poetry Dice Entry:" and your title, so I know it's official.
- Put a link to your post in the comments section (below). This is so I can count entries past 7 days.
- You can submit up to 3 entries per week.
Deadline to enter contest is next Saturday at Midnight PST (UTC-7)
Winners will be announced weekly
***Please only use the โpoetrydiceโ tag for official entries to the contest! ๐ฎ๐ฟโ
I will be flagging any user who intentionally misuses this tag.
Yes I am the only judge of the poetry dice contest right now, but I am wishing and hoping someone else will want to join in and take a turn, too. Two or three heads are better than one, so if you would like an opinion too, please let me know and we can chat up which poems we like best for the week and why. :-) Without further ado, I give you the Winners of PDC3K!
Winner's Announcement
Congrats to the winner's of week 10!

"Come on sweet Mary
I'm beat as a drum,
Wrap your magic arms round me
Come on, take me home,
There's flish flashing lights
In my world worried face,
I'm too God damn weary
To stay in this place...cont."
@krizia - 5 STEEM
"Ram, the domesticated sheep
One night, couldn't sleep
The magic of scarab beetles
Kept him wide awake
The barn creeps with evils
His heart felt a quake...cont."
@breezin - 7 STEEM
"Wake up from your slumber
and experience the magic that is life
It is not too late to pull the rip cord
so that the parachute of your dreams
can land them safely
Wake up from the herd
and realize that you are not sheep
wake up as by thunder
and let it's lightning ignite again;...cont."
Cheers! And thanks for all you do!
Whether you are taking a break from your own flow, or you desperately need pushed over the writer's block edge...this poetry challenge is for you. All of us coming together and sharing our versions of how the dice speak to us, is what makes this weekly challenge so great. I hope the roll of the dice will continue to be an inspiration for you and the ones close to you.
Tips on Winning
The winners are based on the entries which I think are the best.
I am not saying anyone is a bad poet, I will not say that. Instead, I seek to offer you my encouraging and supportive feedback as a fellow poet. My opinion takes into consideration many things that can add or subtract to the value of a poem, including:*
- grammar / Does it make sense?
- flow / Are there any loopholes that leave me confused?
- rhythm
- rhyme
- imagery / Can I imagine the pictures the words paint?
- feeling / Does it cause a reaction?
- and emotional pull / Do I suddenly have an opinion?

Here is my 1st Entry for Week 11 Roll - POWER TALK
https://steemit.com/poetrydice/@japhofin8or/poetry-dice-challenge-3000-week-11-power-talk
Sweet! So excited for another week full of wonderfully new and exciting poems for the PDC3K~! Cheers! Thanks so much for taking the time to play with us this week @japhofin8or!
@japhofin8or, great job, loved it...say a reflection of myself in this one.
Glad to see all going well with the contest, I'm due for an entry soon, but have been working my ass off and haven't had much time to spare creativity๐ I did however catch wind of a great idea on Steemit called http://steemchallenges.com, I gave @eroche abit of info about the contest, but you could probably flesh out the description further and better. I resteemed his post if you want to check it out. I think it may help you attract more entrants as well as helping to keep things more organized. keep up the great work @robyneggs
Whoop! Thanks @bleedpoet! :-)

Wonderful! ๐
I am loving the entries for week 11 of this challenge I say Bravo to all of you, your stories, your poetic rhythms and tones, and loved the one I read that was in a couple of dimension, the one that made me cry from the very first line. And the one that showed me myself standing in the shadows. I look forward to much more of this. And to the brilliant creator of this challenge @robyneggs, thank you creating the poetry dice challenge and allowing me to be a part. May your crypto forever flow....
Awww yes! Thank you to @rensoul17! Glad to have you on board as the dual teammate of the PDC3K! :-) XO
Well, after hearing about this less than an hour ago, I decided to get writing. I penned a little something and I thought it went well. If you could look it over and judge me, that'd be swell.
