Blockchain Poets ~ Week in Review for July 10 to July 16 ~ AMAZING Poems ~ Hive SBI Winners, PIMP winners, too

Here are the poems published to Blockchain Poets for the week of July 10–July 16. Let’s have a look at the poems then we will get down to the contest winner.

Before we begin, I want to again urge you guys to use the #PIMP tag in your posts. Only a few of you used it this past week. When you use the tag, you make yourself visible to their community for upvotes and curation, and you will also be elegible for our pimp drawing to win some. They are good guys over there—I mean they sponsor us for one, and that alone makes them great!

That said, let’s dive into this week’s poems!

A little bit of a slow week, but with the bear market continuing, many people have slowed in their posting; that’s disappointing, but somewhat understandable. By my records, we did get one new poet this week. Welcome Hive account@beaescribe!

If you have time, check them out and see what you think. And if you like any, let the author know about it by leaving a great comment!

Comments

As promised last week, everyone who followed the rules and left at least two comments for every poem they posted got 10 Ecency POINTS from me. This includes Hive account@awuahbenjamin, Hive account@beaescribe, Hive account@blackdaisyft, Hive account@joseitosanchezs, Hive account@ramisey. Thanks guys! You all rock!

In addition, I give out 50 Ecency POINTS to the person who left the most comments and a random person from everyone who commented. That is: Hive account@joseitosanchezs and Hive account@blackdaisyft.

You can use Ecency POINTS to promote posts, boost posts, or to tip people with. Use the Ecency Frontend to see everything possible!

Winner of Hive SBI and PIMP

Remember, only people who gave two comments for every poem they posted are eligible for this contest. The only exception is that new poets are giving a pass their first week here.

Excluding myself, that puts 5 people in the running for HIVE SBI and 3 people in the running for PIMP tokens.

No need for a random picker this week. Only 5 people gave enough comments to qualify for the SBI drawing, and only 3 of those people used the #PIMP tag. So there we go.

That makes the winners…

For Hive SBI:

Hive account@awuahbenjamin - 2 SBI
Hive account@beaescribe - 2 SBI
Hive account@blackdaisyft - 2 SBI
Hive account@joseitosanchezs - 2 SBI
Hive account@ramisey - 2 SBI

For PIMP tokens:

Hive account@beaescribe - 50 PIMP
Hive account@joseitosanchezs - 50 PIMP
Hive account@ramisey - 50 PIMP

Congratulations!

(if you aren’t sure what SBI is, it’s kind of lifetime payment system. You can read about it here. Basically they will vote on all of your posts. The more SBI you have, the higher their upvote.)

And thank you all for your wonderful poems!

Next Week ~ Next Prize

Next week will be the same reward — shares of Hive SBI and PIMP. For PIMP, you must use the #pimp tag. For both SBI and PIMP, you must comment at least twice for every poem you post.

The exact amount of Hive SBI depends on how many poets submit poems for the week.

0–9 poets - 1 SBI
10–19 poets - 5 SBI (split 2–2–1)
20–49 poets - 10 SBI (split 3–2–2–2–1)

(Note, these numbers don’t include Hive account@moeknows or myself.)

So if you want a chance for Hive SBI, go write a poem! If you want a chance for a lot of Hive SBI, go recruit others (and write a poem)! Spread the word, upvote and share this post to make it more visible, contact poet buddies on Discord and try to talk them into joining our group.

Just remember the rules:

1. Comment on two other poems for every one that you post
2. Make it a good comment (not just “great poem!”)
3. If you offer criticism, keep it gentle and polite and remember the golden rule of criticism: say at least two positive things for every one thing you criticize.

Anyone caught breaking these rules will not be eligible for the reward.

I’m looking forward to reading everyone’s new poem in this next week.

(Note: If you’d like to donate anything for the contest, such as Hive Engine tokens or Hive, please get in touch with me. Look for me as dbooster#6252 on Discord.)
