It's that time again. Time for the Poet of the week!

If you don't remember what this is, it's our new weekly post sponsored by LeoFinance to recognize one of the top posts in this community every week: a top post that all of you vote for. Read more details.

Last Week's Winner

Unfortunately, last week the polls on Threads broke so we don't actually know who won. The Leo team seems to be working on it but there also doesn't seem to be any ETA on the fix. As a result, I'm going to divide the normal 60% that goes to the winner four ways, giving each of the four nominees an equal 15%.

I know this isn't ideal, but it also isn't unexpected. LeoFinance just moved to their new site, Inleo, and are attempting to rapidly improve things, so bugs are to be expected. Let's still thank them and really appreciate their support in this Poet of the Week program.

End result this time is you are all the winners, so congrats @kraken99 @grindan @zitalove and @boxcarblue! You will each get 15% of this post when it pays out in a week.

This Week's Candidates

Now let's look at the four candidates for this week's Poet of the Week. These four have been chosen by myself and some of the other mods in this group. Our choices are based not only on quality of poem, but also on engagement in the comments.

And the four selected posts are

• From @ninong7, Don't Worry Be Aware
• From @silher, Jealousy obsession
• From @m-kay, Despondency
• From @rinconpoetico7, The Path (El camino)

I made it into a poll, which you can visit here:

But... the polls still aren't working as of when I am posting this, so you may not see anything. If the polls aren't fixed soon, then once again next week all four of the nominees will get an equal 15%.

20% will also be sent to @weeklytops where it will be used to fund LeoFinance's promotion campaign on Twitter. The final 20% will go to @dbooster for funding rewards given to this group on other posts.
