Day 6 'Pocalypse Poetry Challenge and Contest [$25 SBD in Prizes!] STEEM-POCALYPSE Day 3 Round 2

in #pocalypse-poetry7 years ago (edited)

Welcome to day 6 of the 'Pocalypse Poetry Challenge!

This is a daily poetry contest that is being hosted by three people: @hopehuggs, @superbuckles and @novaatebatman that will run alongside Steem-Apocalypse.

Winner of Day 3:
@em3 won Day 3 of 'Pocalypse Poetry!

The first day is over and I made it through.
Though the best of the paths, I didn't find. True.

But I wasn't greedy, or crazy or nuts.
Those driving the pickup got cut down by mutts!

Others that chose to go for them all,
got a similar sad fate, not a big Arsen-al!

So alone in the dark with knife in my hand,
I'm searching for food; living off of the land!

There's plants here, I know it, to fill up my gut.
Double-checking each ID, then quietly I cut.

I hope there is plenty, and that I'm not alone.
That each player chose wisely, and each "dog finds a bone!"

Sorry we're running behind on daily winners. You guys make it so hard to pick!

What shop to choose, or keep walking down the street? How many more people have guns? Who knows?

Only @papa-pepper.

Why Can't We Be Friends!?

On the start of day three, I really felt sure,
that Papa had set... a trap with a lure.

My choice was risky, but not more than most.
For no creepers were hidden, and no sniper at post.

The stores had been looted, all good gear was got.
Only Fire, Light and Water, and no one got shot.

We are thankful to Papa. The game's still in play.
And if teamwork is right, I'll survive another day.

So good luck to you all. We'll learn in a bit.
If murder or friendship, be the choice that gets hit.

I have been up all night script supervising a short film shoot, but gosh darn it, I'm keeping my run for dailies! And now at 7am, I will attempt to sleep. Here's my entry:
