Steemit Poetry Contest #5 + Winners of #4!
DISCLAIMER - Yes, I know that the Steemit logo has changed, but I like the old one more and do not want to change it :)
I want to apologize for the delay. The city was covered by bad weather and there were interruptions in electricity supply.

My Greetings To You!
Many beautiful poems - fact! I tried to choose something non-standard... Of course, your opinion may (MUST) not coincide with mine! :) On the subject of this contest, too many of you thought too typically (as for me)...
Yes, despite this much and much I liked... but, again, I tried to choose a non-standard... different... and that's the result.

The winners of the Steemit Poetry Contest #4
1st Place - "The Force, Of Course" by @yombo
Zen masters state
nothing is great
without thought
just relax and spectate
Empty your mind
and you will find
the void therein
without ax to grind
Its all in your head
digest what you're fed
the secret to happiness:
go back to bed!
2nd Place - "Emptiness is not that bad" by @sonci
If you feel empty, don’t feel sad
'cause emptiness is not that bad.
It’s just the meaning you’re giving to it,
that makes you feel like crap and shit.
Emptiness is just a state of mind,
Like fulfillment, one of a kind.
The empty state, you know -
a precondition for you to grow.
Before there are teeth, there is an empty mouth
before you move in, an empty house
Before a baby is born, an empty womb
Before you die, an empty tomb.
3rd Place - "The Loop you created"by @el-bossaa-schs
Gradually, like a snail it crawled in
Never thinking of the effect it will create within
Until moments shared made meaning
Oh! I wish it was just starting
What you have is never cherished until lost
She made life liveable at a little cost
Strength gotten from you during persecution and trials is unquantifiable
Your, type is definitely incomparable
Your departure came like a bombshell
Tearing me apart like a snail without a shell
My heart wails when am weak
Knowing that we won't see next week
