Not as many poets this week as we usually have, but we still had some fine poems! We also had three new faces this week. Welcome Hive account@apehjames Hive account@consciouscat Hive account@portsundries! Glad you decided to join us and hope you stick around in the future!

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 great comments this week. Hive account@caelum1infernum and Hive account@mell79 were neck and neck for most comments. Since they both gave so many and such great ones, I’m giving 100 Ecency POINTS to each of you! And the random winner is Hive account@stuartcturnbull, so 50 to you. 30 POINTS to the rest of you for giving at least two comments for every poem you posted. Thanks, guys!

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.

I threw you guys into a random picker…

and the winner is…

For Hive SBI:

We only had 16 poets this week, so that means 5 SBI are up for grabs this week. Let’s see if we can get that number back into the twenties next week to unlock 10 SBI.

Hive account@driptorchpress - 2 SBI
Hive account@apehjames - 2 SBI
Hive account@stuartcturnbull - 1 SBI

For PIMP tokens:

No drawing needed for this one. We only has two people use the #PIMP tag and three new faces, so those five people get the PIMP!

Hive account@apehjames - 50 PIMP
Hive account@consciouscat - 50 PIMP
Hive account@mell79 - 50 PIMP
Hive account@mrenglish - 50 PIMP
Hive account@portsundries - 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.)
