Here are the poems published to Blockchain Poets for the week of July 3rd–July 9th. Let’s have a look at the poems then we will get down to the contest winner.

Before we get into the poems, I want to remind you all to please use #PIMP as a tag on your posts. The PIMP community is a sponsor of Blockchain Poets and they support us. If you use the #PIMP tag you may be curated by the community and you will be elegable for the PIMP drawing (provided you also make two comments for every poem you post).

Now, let’s get into the poems.

Also, we again had 3 new poets this week. Please welcome Hive account@blackdaisyft, Hive account@blurtpoem, and Hive account@sodeeyum. Thanks for joining with us, guys, and hope you will stick around!

Comments

As a reminder, I award two commenters 50 Ecency POINTS each. The first spot with go to the person who makes the most comments, and the second spot will go to the winner of a random drawing of everyone who made at least 2 comments for every poem they posted.

Hive account@joseitosanchezs gave the most comments, and Hive account@evagavilan2 won the drawing! Congratulations!

(go here to watch the drawing video. I’m going to have to start uploading elsewhere. Youtube no longer allows us to embed short videos)

Also, I want to announce starting next week I will be rewarding EVERYONE who gives at least 2 comments for every poem they post. Until I can find a sponsor for this, I will dig into my own pockets and give 10 Ecency POINTS to everyone who meets this requirement.

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 6 people in the running for HIVE SBI and 5 people in the running for PIMP tokens.

I threw you guys into a random picker…

and the winner is…

For Hive SBI:

(go here to watch the drawing video. I’m going to have to start uploading elsewhere. Youtube no longer allows us to embed short videos)

Hive account@blurtpoem - 2 SBI
Hive account@sodeeyum - 2 SBI
Hive account@evagavilan2 - 1 SBI

For PIMP tokens:

Well, no drawing needed here. Only 5 people used #PIMP tag and commented twice for every poem they posted. So all five of you get 50 PIMP each!

Hive account@blackdaisyft - 50 PIMP
Hive account@blurtpoem - 50 PIMP
Hive account@evagavilan2 - 50 PIMP
Hive account@joseitosanchezs - 50 PIMP
Hive account@sodeeyum - 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)
50–100 poets - 20 SBI (split 5–5–3–3–2–2)

(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.)
