Notice

Hive account@run-the-bits here with the SPU Poetry Contest #6 results! This week we had 6 great entries, but sadly only 6. Unfortunately, I don't have enough time (or knowhow) to promote the contest like Hive account@poetrybyjeremy did, so I'm really gonna need y'alls help to get AT LEAST DOUBLE the number of submissions this time. We need to unite and continue to spread the word if we want our community to flourish! So in the spirit of such unity, all 6 entrants in Contest #6 will split a 6 SBD total prize pool ψ(｀∇´)ψ !!!!!!

That means everyone gets 0.5 SBD ＼(＾O＾)／

Theme: United

Speaking of unity (again), I've decided this week's theme is United. We anticipate the community will be growing larger very soon and want to foster a sense of welcoming and acceptance to poets all over the world. That's it--just write on the theme. 0.1 SBD to everyone who writes specifically about Steemit Poets United, but entries only need to be about the theme generally--whatever United means to you and in your life.
