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

Comments were much less this week. I imagine that is in part because of the holidays, but whatever the reason, there were fewer comments. Please remember, if you do not comment at least two times for every poem you post, you are not eligible for any rewards.

@joseitosanchezs and @davidbright both gave a large number of comments, so I want to reward both of them. 1 SBI each!

Winner of Hive SBI and CCC

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 10 people in the running for Hive SBI and 7 people in the running for CCC tokens.

I threw you guys into a random picker…

and the winners are…

For Hive SBI

@itsostylish - 2 SBI
@kirlos - 2 SBI
@danmaruschak - 2 SBI
@joseitosanchezs - 2 SBI
@hilbyguy - 2 SBI

For CCC tokens

@davidbright - 500 CCC
@hilbyguy - 500 CCC
@jacco25 - 500 CCC
@kirlos - 500 CCC
@itsostylish - 500 CCC

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 CCC tokens. For CCC, you must use the #creativecoin tag. For both SBI and CCC, you must comment.

The exact amount of Hive SBI depends on how many poets submit poems for the week. I’m bumping up the win amounts this time.

0–9 poets - 1 SBI
10–19 poets - 5 SBI (split 2–2–1)
20–49 poets - 10 SBI (split 2–2–2–2–2)

(Note, these numbers don’t include @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: I’d like to start offering more prizes in the future. Please get in contact with me if you’d like to donate any Hive tokens or other rewards. Look for me as dbooster#6252 on Discord.)
