180 days of Poets United!

one hundred and eighty days of poets united
got each and everyone of us very much excited
six months of poetry and struggle to please
now's the time to do a hundred eighty degrees

a hundred daily doses, almost, have come out
to show you dedication and our poetic clout
now at half a year it's time for an about face
to show you all the best that we did interlace

so, the next ten days we will endeavor to review
our poets best old poems you probably never knew
a sampling of some of our poet's sweetest fruits
hoping you'll reward them on their past pursuits

it is also a way to help our poets earn again
for these hidden jewels of their joy and pain
so ten poems are matched below by ten comments
where, again, you can give the poem a few cents

and in seventeen days it finally will be known
which poem you thought deserving of a throne
and most votes, not payout, will take the win
so upvote that poem that makes you cry or grin

we truly hope the poetry we so lovingly write
will entice some smiles through day and night
or, if anything, may it really make you feel
that you really are not alone in your ordeal

Hellooo Poets and poetry Lovers!

This is a very special day for Poetsunited because it marks the 180th day since Hive account@angelveselinov started this community. At first there were only a handful of members, but now we are nearing the 500 mark!

We want to celebrate this occasion by selecting the 100 best poems out of the hundreds that were submitted to us over this period. All of these poems deserve more attention than they got in our opinion, even if they were reviewed in the Daily Dose.

So we have come up with a novel way to make those poems earn some more praise, votes and comments once again. Right below this post are 10 comments by Hive account@poetsunit, they are numbered the same as the poems in the list below this text.

If like a poem and you would like to give it an upvote, then upvote the comment where the poem is mentioned. Comments can go on the original post or below the matching comment here. We will make sure the liquid post payouts will go towards the original author. We think this is an awesome way to get the old poems some of the shine they deserve. Obviously you can vote for more than one poem! We are going to make 10 posts with 10 poems like this, the poem that gets the highest number of votes on August 1st will win 5 sbd, the number two will win 3 and the number three will win 2 sbd, on top of their post payouts! So, if one of your poems is mentioned in one of the 10 issues you might want to give your friends a nudge ;) Also every poem that is mentioned in these 10 issues will be reviewed again when we make it to a year, that would be 15 January 2019. Who knows? We might even get it out on paper by then! Our very own paper "One Year Anniversary" issue! So, with all that being said, let's get to the first ten poems now:

And remember: Do not upvote the original poem! They are all past post payout, so no use...
