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

Most of all of you gave great comments this week. Thanks for the great job! Keep up the great work.

I’m going to have to award @joseitosanchezs again for going abopve and beyond. He gave over 30 comments this week, putting all of us to shame. Super effort, buddy. 1 SBI to you!

Winners

Remember, for shares of Hive SBI, 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. And for CCC tokens, only people who used the #creativecoin tag are eligible.

Since some people did one or the other but not both, I am going to do two drawings to simplify this.

First, the Hive SBI drawing:

@raj808 - 3 SBI
@oldschoolzen - 2 SBI
@cliffagreen - 2 SBI
@jacco25 - 2 SBI
@martinlazizi - 1 SBI

Next, the CCC token drawing.

@adriangamerxd - 1000 CCC
@maylenasland - 1000 CCC
@cesarj21 - 1000 CCC
@danmaruschak - 1000 CCC
@joseitosanchezs - 1000 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.

There will be 5 winners of 1000 CCC each (remember you have to use the tag #creativecoin to win this), but 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 @moeknows or myself.)

So if you want a chance for Hive SBI and CCC, 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:

1. Comment on two other poems for every one that you post
2. Make it a good comment (not just “great poem!”)
3. 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 prizes for the future, please get in contact with me. Look for me as dbooster#6252 on Discord.)
