This party is in full swing now! With your help, there's poetry -- rhymes, limericks, and haiku, too! All to help raise funds for Hive account@blacklux to help recover from the mess that hurricanes Irma and Maria left for Puerto Rico. And you could win prizes, too!

There's been some good holiday spirit - Hive account@ecoinstant and Hive account@kalemandra have sent SBD gifts to Hive account@blacklux to help out with the hurricane recovery. And I've matched their gifts, 1 for 1, to double the impact.

Let me know when you send your gift to Hive account@blacklux -- and I'll match it, too. Up to 50 SBD for the whole BLACKLUX Party that goes through January 1! If you've been tracking the value of SBD, you know that is real money, for a real person, who has real needs.

Holiday Poetry Slam!

Now the party is getting down to business. I'd like to see more gifts headed to Hive account@blacklux. And I'd like to have a Holiday Poetry Slam! Here's how it works.

You leave a poem about this holiday season in the comments below. It can be a rhyming poem of at least 8 lines. Or it can be a limerick. Or it can be a haiku.

One this post pays out, I'll choose my favorite poems. I'll give a prize of 2 SBD to my favorite poem in each category. That's 6 SBD total. If you want your potential prize to go to Hive account@blacklux, let me know that in the comments, too.

You can make your own post with your poem. I'll look at it and may resteem it for the party!
