"We cherish the way you make the images come alive off the page..."

Congratulations to the winner's of Week 2 - found here

Thanks again for participating in the re-vamped Poetry Dice Challenge 3000! I really wanted everyone to have another opportunity to be inspired by a semi-structured poetry contest that is unique. Rory's Story Cubes have been an inspiration for me for many years, and Steemit has provided an opportunity for me to share that inspiration with you.

Rules

1. All 9 images 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.
2. Make your first tag #poetrydice, so I can find your entry.
3. Put a link to your post in the comments section (below). Feel free to message me your link in steemit.chat (optional).
4. Please submit no more than 3 entries. If you wish to write more than 3 poems per roll, that is fine. I just ask that you clearly label which 3 are your official entries.

Deadline to enter contest is next Saturday at Midnight PST (UTC-7).
Winners will be announced weekly.

Prizes

The prizes may not seem like much, but I want everyone to have an opportunity to be inspired by the fates of the poetry dice.

3rd Place (1 STEEM)
2nd Place (3 STEEM)
1rst Place (5 STEEM)

Want to co-judge or guest judge?

Please Note:

• If you are a judge, you are not allowed to win the contest.
• You may still enter for fun, but your entries will not be considered part of the competition.

Please message me in steemit.chat/direct/robyn.eggs (if you wish to be anonymous). Otherwise, leave a comment or reply letting me know that you would like to judge.

In the second week, we had one volunteer co-judge - @mamdini, winner of the first week's contest! Thanks for coming on board last week to help illuminate shining poets. Your feedback was very valuable to the community. You are free to enter this week's contest. Good luck to all who enter!

***Please only use the "poetrydice" tag for official entries to the contest! 👮🏿‍

I will be flagging any user who intentionally misuses this tag.

Flagging a post can remove rewards and make this material less visible. Some common reasons to flag:

• Disagreement on rewards
• Fraud or Plagiarism
• Hate Speech or Internet Trolling
• Intentional miscategorized content or Spam

Things to consider when competing for the best poem entry:

• grammar / Does it make sense?
• flow / Does the reader experience any hiccups, jerks or missing beats?
• rhythm
• rhyme
• imagery / Can the reader imagine what the author is writing?
• feeling / Does it cause a reaction?
• and emotional pull / Does the reader take sides?

Please don't over-analyze your own poems

We all do it too much. Never judge your own poem too harshly. If you love it, then someone else loves it too, just the way it is. If it speaks to you - it's good. And not all poetry is meant to rhyme, either. If it sounds good and makes sense - if it changes the reader at all - it's good. We want to know what the dice say to you.

We cherish the way you make the images come alive off the page...

And each author has a unique and inspiring way of writing their entry, which is what makes this challenge so valuable and fun to participate in. You are really only challenging yourself! :-) Prost! Cheers! Salud!
