Notice

Hive account@run-the-bits here again with your results for the SPU Poetry Contest #6! You guys wrote some truly great poems this week. In fact, it was kinda hard choosing the winners (ಥ﹏ಥ) so I'm including one honourable mention. Be sure to check out our new poetry exclusive resteem bid-bot Hive account@cleansingpoetry which you can support and get a daily share of the bids by delegating SP to it here. For those unfamiliar with delegation, check out Hive account@angelveselinov 's intro on dlive and the introductory post here.

Since I donate based on how well I do on Lucksacks^{Steemit Poker} that week, I'll only confirm there will be a bonus next week. I just can't confirm how much or to how many places.

Mix 'n Match

I actually liked this format and there were some great poems from it last time, so let's try again.

What you have to do is pick one theme and an image below as your prompts. Then, write a poem inspired by the image while incorporating the theme into your poem. This week's images are courtesy of me, as I hope to begin uploading both poetry and photography to Steemit more regularly soon.

Themes:

1. Heat
2. Fear
3. "Congratulations, {blank}"

Images:

1
2
3
