It's an incredible honor to have been able to place alongside such stunning poets! I've read their works and I'm blown away I was able to stand among them.
It's contests like these where I can gaze upon a vast field of talent and find so many great poets to learn from that truly stoke my drive for the craft.
Thank you so much for hosting these great contests @rensoul17, and giving such a great opportunity to so many.
Most of all @rensoul17; thank you for being you.

Your recognition has fuelled me more than I can say. I have spent quite some time reflecting on what it is I need to be doing next. Both as a means of occupational engagement and also personal goals and purpose.
I have messaged you in steem chat. I would love to hear from you. Is that the best way to contact? Or discord? #GirlBefore7455 is my discord thingy, if you get a chance.
Thank you for believing in me x

Wow!! I must say it was a very interesting prompt, and it was fun to write a poem on the subject. Honestly, I was not expecting to be placed; sure I have a lot of experience writing poetry, but when it comes to Steemit, this is the first contest that I've been placed on. I really want to thank you, as this encourages me to keep on engaging with contests.
Contests are great; not only for the reward pool but also to help someone get out of writer's block. As well, it is a challenge to my poetic mind, to think out of its box. Congratulations to all the other winners, it's an honour to be amongst so many people I recognise and respect.

Excellent it's fine I'm so glad that my name is on the list with with poets of magnificent caliber and writing skill! I know that we all go to the same place to dream and receive inspiration for poetry, for making words out of emotion. I'm so happy that you put on these competitions for poetry to shine and your curating prowess to uplift the entire steemit community!
As for my submission, I dream of a place where we all come together and inspire each other with magic and myriad faerie fun ways to excite the imagination.. A place where we are all truly equal and creative in our own right. There are also lessons and classes which people come to attend, and there is a castle much like in the picture where we all go to learn. The teachers are wise and forthcoming, creating protection over their sacred space.
Thank you so much for putting on this tough competition - so many amazing poems to judge from. Thank you also to everybody who submitted poetry to @rensoul17 because in writing poetry we express our innermost selves. @lonestarpoet

Thank you @josediccus, I agree this has indeed been a major success for us all, I feel like we are creating our very own tribe community write in the space of these contest, And I say this because the more we interact, the more we bare our hearts, minds, spirits, and pieces of our soul we come to know more about each other which is awesome, I have been in need of a real community for a long time and Steemit is just that and a dream come true. You do great work and it is an honor to be connected to you on this platform.

I am on steemit.chat as rensoul17, direct message me anytime and congratulations on your win. Just to give you a peek in to my process in choosing those in the winner's circle. I can feel the energy flow of each entry. (A conversation for another time.) When I read your entry I saw that you totally stretched out all over your poem, you squeezed out every drop of your self and you went at it as if this might me your last shot. You approached the challenge as if you were an Olympic champion. You showed vulnerability and you bared your soul a bit, which takes courage when we can reveal a piece of ourselves on paper and to those we do not know. You trusted your process by doing so. I felt much of which you expressed deeply.
