There we go. 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

Some really great comments this week. We have a tie for most comments between Hive account@mell79 and Hive account@amiegeoffrey. So 50 Ecency POINTS to each of you. And another 50 to Hive account@zellypearl as the random winner. 10 to everyone else who followed the group rules and gave at least two comments for every post you made. Thank you!

Unfortunately, Ecency is having problems this morning. I did manage to send to Hive account@mell79 after several minutes (I think… it is still not showing up in my history log yet) but I haven’t been able to send any others. Promise I will get it out as soon as Ecency starts working again. If I forget, feel free to yell at me here or on one of my posts so I’ll see it.

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 8 people in the running for HIVE SBI and 5 people in the running for PIMP tokens.
Hmm.. Only 5 people who used the PIMP tag also gave enough comments, so that makes it easy. All five of you get the PIMP. But as for the SBI, I threw you guys into a random picker…

and the winner is…

For Hive SBI:

Hive account@stuartcturnbull - 3 SBI
Hive account@amiegeoffrey - 2 SBI
Hive account@trumanity - 2 SBI
Hive account@zellypearl - 2 SBI
Hive account@chiddoken - 1 SBI

For PIMP tokens:

Hive account@amiegeoffrey - 50 PIMP
Hive account@chiddoken - 50 PIMP
Hive account@janesuiren - 50 PIMP
Hive account@joseitosanchezs - 50 PIMP
Hive account@trumanity - 50 PIMP

Congratulations!

(if you aren’t sure what SBI is, it’s kind of lifetime payment system. You can read about it here)

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:

Comment on two other poems for every one that you post
Make it a good comment (not just “great poem!”)
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.)
