This is amazing, I'm happy for my friend @girlbeforemirror, an amazing and a gem of a woman, she deserves it with that lovely entry,

All in all, this is amazing, thank you for hosting in the first place, I'm flabbergasted to be part of the winners

So so glad, you did the work and you deserve it and yes I agree @girlbeforemirrow is an amazing person and a gem of a woman.

I'm ecstatic to see myself in the ranks with other great writers of steemit!
Thank you so much @rensoul17 for recognizing the intention that I put into creating this piece for your contest... It was a blast to use such provocative words. Next time I'm certainly going for a sonnet after seeing the other contestants entries :) Cheers! @lonestarpoet
p.s.and actually I wrote the poem with my girlfriend so I'm gonna split the reward with her !! :D

@lonestar you are welcome, what I find so incredible and personally inspiring about you is you were the last one to enter the challenge, you were persistent. I think you saw that there were several others that had already entered the contest but you stayed focused and remained confident that you still had a chance. It is a fact that there are so many people in life that gave up to soon or talked themselves out of something that could have changed their entire destiny or path in life. And when I read your entry I did not compare you to the other entries I focused on the fact that your voice and your uniqueness shouted from the words you created and wrote on the page that had a powerful meaning and message and that is why you are in the winner's circle. Keep writing and creating beautiful and amazing things

Thank you for hearing our voice @rensoul17. This is my first entry and collaboration with @loanstarpoet and we had a blast creating together! Thank you for the inspiration to do so. I look forward to more contests. Blissings! @amoonnile

Thank you for appearing in my space and letting me know who you are I will be following, @lonestarpoet mentioned the collaboration for the winning piece. Blessings to you as well. @amoonnile.

This is incredibly exciting for me! First contest win I've ever had for my poetry and it's just so, so encouraging for me!
Bless you @rensoul17 for hosting such a great initiative and being so generous with the awards! It truly means the world to us.

Oh and @girlbeforemirror! @feye! High five!! 50-word selectors unite! Yeah!!

Thank you @themadrunnah and blessings to you. I am honored to be apart of your first contest win. You did the work, not once but twice. And you along with a couple of other people went beyond what was asked of you and it paid off. I love your Spirit, I grew so much in during this challenge. Thank you again and Congratulations!

This platform has been my sanctuary during a huge transition in my life.
I am still trying to find a new direction for myself that allows for me to use my mind and contribute to my family and the world.
This entry is important to me for two reasons.

  1. It is largely biographical.
  2. It demonstrates how during the past 18 months on steemit I have been able to grow in confidence, as a writer and generally as a contributing member of the community.

I thank you so much for this. I harbour a dream of being someone. Your acknowledgement helps me to keep believing in myself.

same here @girlbeforemirror. For someone who was save from depression to almost suicide by Steemit.
I am more than grateful this platform exist. The confidence this community and such poem challenge means so much to me.

Congratulations again, dear! :) ♥

I am following you since the beginning. I salute you and your contributions to our community. )
Cheers!

@girlbeforemirror I can relate to your journey I too am going through big changes in my life These are things we don't talk about everyday, yet they exist. I love Steemit for the same reason it has given me new purpose and meaning to a life that just over a year ago seemed hopeless. My poetry journey began in 1984. My gift as a literary artist has evolved since then and I love it and I want to support those who share that gift to be the best that they can be. I felt your poem deeply and I could see your life as story enfold as I read it from what you said and what you didn't and it brought me to the point of tears because I can relate and also you don't have to harbour a dream of being someone you are someone powerful gifted and great to not only Steemit but outside of Steemit as well to others in the world. Please continue to write, give and be a blessing and I am following you.
