<p>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!</p>

<h2 id="comments">Comments</h2>

<p>Comments were really great this week. Many of you went above and beyond and offered many great comments. Thank you! I&#8217;m sure everyone who got your great comments really appreciated them!</p>

<p>@joseitosanchezs, @martinlazizi, @repayme4568 all gave a huge number of comments, so 1 SBI to each of you!</p>

<h2 id="winnerofhivesbiandccc">Winner of Hive SBI and CCC</h2>

<p>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.</p>

<p>Excluding myself, that puts 15 people in the running for HIVE SBI and 8 people in the running for CCC tokens.</p>

<p>I threw you guys into a <a href="https://wheelofnames.us/">random picker</a>&#8230;</p>

<p>and the winner is&#8230;</p>

<p>For Hive SBI: </p>

<p>Congratulations! </p>

<p>(if you aren&#8217;t sure what SBI is, it&#8217;s kind of lifetime payment system. You can read about it <a href="https://peakd.com/hive-189312/@steembasicincome/hive-sbi">here</a>)</p>

<p>And thank you all for your wonderful poems! </p>

<p><hr></p>

<h2 id="nextweeknextprize">Next Week ~ Next Prize</h2>

<p>Next week will be the same reward — shares of Hive SBI and CCC. For CCC, you must use the #creativecoin tag. For both SBI and CCC, you must comment. </p>

<p>The exact amount of Hive SBI depends on how many poets submit poems for the week. </p>

<p>0&#8211;9 poets - 1 SBI<br/>
10&#8211;19 poets - 5 SBI (split 2&#8211;2&#8211;1)<br/>
20–49 poets - 10 SBI (split 3&#8211;2&#8211;2&#8211;2&#8211;1)</p>

<p>(Note, these numbers don&#8217;t include @moeknows or myself.)</p>

<p>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. </p>

<p>Just remember the rules:</p>

<ol>
<li>Comment on two other poems for every one that you post</li>
<li>Make it a good comment (not just &#8220;great poem!&#8221;)</li>
<li>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.</li>
</ol>

<p><strong>Anyone caught breaking these rules will not be eligible for the reward.</strong></p>

<p>I&#8217;m looking forward to reading everyone&#8217;s new poem in this next week. </p>

<p>(Note: If you&#8217;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.)</p>
