| 3rd place | ..longing from a Sincere Heart

Muftii has managed to touch the heart of the reader with these emotive words. True to the title, these are sincere words that evidently flow like a stream of positive outpourings from a heart touched by the idea of beauty and purity. This is the translation. I’m sure I’m not alone in wishing I could hear the original read in a Dlive show one day soon (hint!).
Your heart is a lake full of silence …
Soothes every soul that comes ..
The water is like the words you say …
Treating thirst for serenity ...

One of our newer members, a veteran soldier, proves himself also a veteran poet in these clever lines of poetry. His post is extremely interesting as he provides a context for his poem, always a precious addition to lovely verse poetry. I will leave you to discover the play on words and the powerful message about war, honour, and the business of pretence in this poem. We’re glad to have such poetic talent among our ranks.
democracy
is a costly business,
liberty a puff of smoke
in a courtroom.
| 1st place | The Boundary by  |
|---|
This is a beautiful piece, calling to mind tender memories of the life and the passing of a dear family member. One can feel the tenderness and yearning to cross the boundary and walk with her a while along her journey. I believe these lines of poetry will touch each reader in a personal way. The painful experience is brought to life as a razor sharp metaphor here, one which cuts to the soul of the reader and brings a tear. The loss seems fresh as the day he experienced it, so I want to ask the poet to accept our sincere condolences on the loss of his sister.
a face bloomed
the house became bright
and we danced

’s keeps on working tirelessly behind the scenes while still finding time to create these unique pieces of poetry with an informative message for steemians to consider. This poem, 50/50 or 100 that is the question explores the benefits of both reward options available on steemit. Very clever advice wrapped in a cool, poetic box!We are happy to welcome a newcomer to our community,

submitted the poem entitled Some Suspicion, which is a unique poem expressing internal strife.
submitted three pieces this time around The New Steemit Game?, perhaps my favourite this time - as it leaves one thinking about how we contribute in our own small ways, to current affairs on steemit, and another two poems skillfully following the villanelle form:
Daffodil - A Flower's Villanelle, and Firefly - A Grieving Heart's VillanelleI know you will all enjoy the poetry from our friends, don’t forget to drop some comments and votes. Until next time, this is your friendly..
