We had two new poets this week. Everyone, please welcome Hive account@chuksmeezy and Hive account@edujo. I hope you guys enjoy your stay and return with us next week!

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!

Discord, Tags, Delegations, Upvotes, and Threads

Please remember to use both the #pimp tag and the #india (or #indiaunited) tag on your posts. Using both will increase your chances of being curated by these two places. Also, using the #PIMP tag (and doing the required comments) will make you eligible to win some pimp in these end of the week reviews. Thank you to Hive account@enginewitty for kindly donating the PIMP to the group.

Please join our discord → Here. It’s kind of quiet there right now, but we hope to grow it. So please join, share your posts in the share room, and meet your fellow poets.

For the moment, all active poets in our community will get a 100% upvote from the community account. When the voting mana drops too low (under 90%) then preference will be given to poets who follow the community rules and comment on at least two other poems for every poem they post.

Please remember to delegate to us (this account, Hive account@hive-161465) if you are able. The more delegations we can get, the better the upvote we can give and the faster we can grow this community. If you are unable to delegate but still want to help out, you can set us as a beneficiary on your post (you can set this under the Advanced menu when posting). Everything this account makes is powered up to benefit us all.

Finally, please join us on Threads. Think of Threads as Twitter on Hive. Read my intro post about it here. You can post short poems there, parts of larger poems, or just a link to your current post. Posts on Threads do not count as regular Hive posts, so don’t worry about screwing up autovoters or SBI votes. If you post there, use the #bcpoets tag to receive a vote from our Hive account@bcpoets.threads account. It’s a great place to attract further attention to your poetry. Our community account has been delegated some LEO to help with curating you guys. Thanks to Hive account@anomadsoul for that!

I've been very busy in real life these past two weeks, but I hope to have another Threads poetry contest this coming week, so be ready for it!

Comments

Poems submitted this past week may have been on the low side, but comments were up. Thank you everyone who took the time to leave comments on some of the poems submitted. I want to especially thank Hive account@ifarmgirl-leo for her comments. She has been helping out in the group for the past few weeks and has been leaving some wonderful comments as well as sharing many of our poems on Threads to give all of you more exposure. She actually gave the most comments this week, making her the winner of the 50 Ecency POINTS. The place of second-most comments had a tie, so another 50 POINTS to both Hive account@rinconpoetico7 and Hive account@joseitosanchezs.

Thanks everyone!

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 7 people in the running for HIVE SBI and 5 people in the running for PIMP tokens. That makes the PIMP drawing each. All five eligible will get PIMP. But as for the SBI, I threw you guys into a random picker…

and the winner is…

For Hive SBI:

Sorry the drawing video isn’t uploading. My internet has been kind of weird for the past few days so it might be on my end. I will update this post as soon as I can upload the video.

Hive account@rinconpoetico7 - 3 SBI
Hive account@joseitosanchezs - 2 SBI
Hive account@validupsetlap - 2 SBI
Hive account@chuksmeezy - 2 SBI
Hive account@edujo - 1 SBI

For PIMP tokens:

Hive account@amiegeoffrey - 50 PIMP
Hive account@chuksmeezy - 50 PIMP
Hive account@edujo - 50 PIMP
Hive account@joseitosanchezs - 50 PIMP
Hive account@rinconpoetico7 - 50 PIMP

Congratulations!

(if you aren’t sure what SBI is, it’s kind of lifetime payment system run by the amazing Hive account@josephsavage. 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.)
