Here's my go (don't worry I'm exempt from winning anything)
My safe haven is now all but gone
The knocks made me lose my brawn
I escaped out the fire hatch
Before my sanity was snatched.
Out on the road now
I have no chow
I don't know what to do
Don't want to bump into you!
Would a up in a tree be okay?
A place to silently pray.
A deserted flower shop?
In need of a good mop.
Tired, need to choose
out on the road I will lose
What about the van?
Sounds a good plan.
Here's my entry! https://steemit.com/steem-pocalypse/@stinawog/steem-pocalypse-poem-day-1
Oops! Also, a little typo in the contest posting! You said "Once Day 1 Round 2 of STEEM-POCALYPSE has been posted, there will be a new post Pocalypse-Poetry post by @superbuckle"
Don't forget the 's' at the end of @superbuckles (it's right everywhere else in the post, that just happened to be the instance I clicked.)
Thank you, I will correct.
My entry
That was great. I reblogged it.
Oh I fear, the end is near... what is that? I think I hear
Someone knocking at my door? Or breaking in? Oh no, what for?
I must get out, I have to flee, down the fire escape for me,
alas I went for option 3, and now I'm chilling in a tree.
Very nice post great work thanks for sharing
This will be great for poet lovers. Happy to race
Heya! I wrote my poem here. I included a link to this post, I hope that suffices for the resteem requirement, as it should do the same thing as if I'd resteemed (send interested followers here)

I just really don't like to put anything but my original content in my feed, though I'm always happy to shout out within a post.

STOPI usually go with free-verse, but found inspiration that allowed me some easy rhymes. So I went with it. I'm actually rather pleased with how it turned out. (Don't worry guys, as cohost I can't win anything. This is just for fun.)

Thank you for organising this. It is good fun:)

So cool for someone that likes games and RPG stuff this takes the cake :D
Papa does not know where I hide,
If Papa finds me,
I do not care because I smell roses.
Survival is the Key
in this game,
Both night and day
My stomach will want to feed,
But Papa will hide even the pepper.
:D
I hope I'm not too late!
My dad just encouraged me to enter!
My entry:
There I was, reading a book.
When the apocalypse started, and whole earth shook.
So I took off my glasses and looked outside.
There were cops and mobs on every side.
And now days later as I start to freak,
A bang on my door and an awful reek.
I dive out the window and do a tumble roll.
Those manga books really helped my flow.
Where do I go, no time to decide.
I run into a flower shop and crawl and hide.
After dark I'll move out of town.
Just trying to survive makes this kid frown.
Good luck everyone!!!
Here's my Day 1 entry. Enjoy!
