I have been busy today, but I finally got a chance to make this post, so here you go! Tomorrow will hopefully be closer to the release of the Steem-Pocalypse post. Any poems submitted within 24 hours of this post, regardless if the next one has been posted yet, will be counted, just please be sure to specify that your post is for this day. Thanks!
A Reminder of the Prizes
--Daily Winners: Every day the three judges will pick their favorite poem from that day and all three will resteem it.
--Grand Prize 1: At the end of the contest the three judges will go over all the daily winners and decide upon their overall favorite poem. That poem will be awarded a $10 SBD prize.
--Grand Prize 2: The person that writes a poem for every day of STEEM-POCALYPSE will receive a $15 SBD prize. In the event that multiple people accomplish this, the three judges will go over their poems and decide upon one winner.

A Clown Juggling Chainsaws
We all left the city behind. Some, through the GI tract.
And we trekked through the woods.
Without spook or attack.
Until at last, from the enchanted wood emerged.
To be greeted by a beardo:
"Come hither," he urged.
What to do? What to say?
I don't want to see what an overly friendly beardo thinks is neat.
I bet he's planning dinner,
and we're what he plans to eat.
Run away, or go and play,
the decision is kind of hard.
Pray beardo doesn't roast us...eyes closed, flesh charred.
