@damianjayclay and @nikisteemare proud to bring you a new poetry writing competition.
The Kudos Poetry Competition has only TWO rules:

For those who would like a prompt, here is an interesting photo prompt from @quoll.
2. Post your poem to Steemit with #kudospoetry as your first tag, and leave a link to it in the comments section of this post.
The deadline for entries is Monday 16th April – 4pm GMT.
Winners will be announced on Monday 23rd April – 4pm GMT
Prizes are
1st Place – 5 SBD
2nd Place – 2 SBD

Your footer says you're looking for reasons to vote for witnesses. The Writers Block has several witnesses working hard for writers on the platform, including me (under the Sircork witness,) Swelker101, anarcho-andrei, and others.
Hi Rhondak! Yes I know;) I already added you guys as witnesses after the PYPT at the Ramble server. I will add Sircork to my footer. Thanks for joining the contest!
That is awesome. You rock, @nikisteem! :-) Thank you!
