Hey there! Thank you for organising this short poetry writing contest! Decided to take my first stab at writing a poem and it was easier because I just had to concentrate on getting 50 words!

Thank you for your entry! Would you like to include an English translation so more people can enjoy your poem? Cheers and Good Luck for the competition!
gracias por responder, aquí te dejo la traducción, utilice un traductor por Internet pero no sé si perdió el sentido del poema. Me gusto participar en el concurso.
Love you, it's like watching the air go by
To love is to watch the air go by,
Not knowing when it's Day or night,
Not knowing what it is today,
Watch the time stop.
Take the rain with your hands,
is to look from the heights.
Not feeling thirsty with your lips,
Nor hunger with your caresses,
I don't dream of your gaze.
This is my entry in this poem competition. This poem is a dedication for the Holy Week. Our Salvation from sins through Jesus Christ's crucifixion.

It's a witness project run by aggroed, ausbitbank, teamsteem, theprophet0, someguy123, neoxian, followbtcnews, and netuoso. The goal is to help Steemit grow by supporting Minnows.

Your contest was added to Steemit Contest Compilation for current week (26.03-01.04)
Thank you for adding us!
@moneyinfant has added your contest to the list Steemit Writing Contests: Issue #60. The list is updated on a daily basis and your contest will remain on the list until its expiration - there's nothing you need to do.
The list was created to save writers the excessive amount of time spent searching through the #contest tag for writing contests. Now they can just come to the list each day, see new contests and use their time doing what they love - writing.
If you'd like to help spread the word about the Steemit Writing Contest List I'd really appreciate a resteem, but it certainly isn't necessary. The project is simply meant to help writers save time and contest creators attract more contestants.
P.S. If you know of any contests I've missed I'd love to hear about them. Thanks!
Thanks for adding us to your wonderful list!
