Let's have a look at the poems then we will get down to the contest winner. ## This Week's Poems ## ||| |--|--| | [「ENG-ESP」 Kindness / Amabilidad][link 0] by @joseitosanchezs | ![][photo 0] | | [Pain Sensors][link 1] by @temitopemichael | ![][photo 1] | | [The World That Disappointed Me][link 2] by @heartofdarkness | ![][photo 2] | | [Sabotage][link 3] by @tahminasyed | ![][photo 3] | | [Fantasies and Reality][link 4] by @greenie.girl | ![][photo 4] | | [What Is Showing on the Television Tonight?][link 5] by @warpedpoetic | ![][photo 5] | | [The Soldier Ants][link 6] by @jacco25 | ![][photo 6] | | [Song of the Entropy][link 7] by @cesarj21 | ![][photo 7] | | [I'm Learning][link 8] by @davidbright | ![][photo 8] | | [Silently Hurt][link 9] by @ismelda2305 | ![][photo 9] | | [Drunk in Charge of a Brain][link 10] by @raj808 | ![][photo 10] | | [The Beautiful Butterfly][link 11] by @jacco25 | ![][photo 11] | | [On Top of the World][link 12] by @raj808 | ![][photo 12] | | [Noumenon][link 13] by @thecreativecasa | ![][photo 13] | | [Mortification, Ignorance of Old][link 14] by @temitopemichael | ![][photo 14] | | [The Space Between Worlds][link 15] by @raj808 | ![][photo 15] | | [Reflection][link 16] by @mavido | ![][photo 16] | | [The Bitter-Sweetness of Nostalgia][link 17] by @yahia-lababidi | ![][photo 17] | | [「ENG-ESP」 I guess / Supongo][link 18] by @joseitosanchezs | ![][photo 18] | | [The Feel of Music][link 19] by @raj808 | ![][photo 19] | | [Pledge Your Pain][link 20] by @davidbright | ![][photo 20] | | [Mouth Full of Aubades][link 21] by @warpedpoetic | ![][photo 21] | | [Días De Reflexión][link 22] by @hermaryrc | ![][photo 22] | | [Icarus' Lament - The Lady Lever Art Gallery #1][link 23] by @raj808 | ![][photo 23] | Also, a shout for @raj808 who is attempting to write a poem every day for a month. Let's all cheer him on!! 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 pretty good this week. Thank you all for the wonderful job! @temitopemichael was on fire again, leaving a huge amount of comments. But @joseitosanchezs was only one comment behind! Super effort, both of you. 1 SBI each to both of you for the great job. ![screen_shot_2021_10_17_at_19.06.50.png](https://images.ecency.com/DQmTsiio5zG7bjdNeGoquND1Pxb3U8B4UwpGRhQJYMrH7n6/screen_shot_2021_10_17_at_19.06.50.png) ![screen_shot_2021_10_17_at_19.07.13.png](https://images.ecency.com/DQmNao8cETJCLoPTUCu8eqayhwBG7zbQ4xQwLYrZryJFMz4/screen_shot_2021_10_17_at_19.07.13.png) Unfortunately there for a few who still gave no comments, or not enough comments—remember, the rule is give two comments for every poem you post. New poets to Blockchain Poets will get a pass this week, but I'm afraid I will have to exclude the rest from the drawing this week. I will not name names, but you know if you didn't leave any or not enough. Please try to do better next week. ## Winner of Hive SBI ## Excluding myself, that puts 8 people in the running for 5 share of Hive SBI this week. I threw you guys into a [random picker](https://wheelofnames.us/)... ![screen_shot_2021_10_17_at_18.53.23.png](https://images.ecency.com/DQmeBDmKdAdj3DfyDPA6UC2k89uCXiFoYnPkFbi69hCk6n4/screen_shot_2021_10_17_at_18.53.23.png) and the winners are... @davidbright - 2 SBI @greenie.girl - 2 SBI @temitopemichael - 1 SBI Congratulations! ![screen_shot_2021_10_17_at_19.07.43.png](https://images.ecency.com/DQmRGQ5JSXNw5aUfHdJagwMRf4hBjWtLSFZTZXhmCXqpXXQ/screen_shot_2021_10_17_at_19.07.43.png) ![screen_shot_2021_10_17_at_19.08.04.png](https://images.ecency.com/DQmRVHiAj4XRs14CnV5pQinEZqZjeTkJqonA1oPFcZhVaah/screen_shot_2021_10_17_at_19.08.04.png) ![screen_shot_2021_10_17_at_19.08.22.png](https://images.ecency.com/DQmREYdQnmMW2LQAFD9v1LzNYPhuXm8Ba7B8KiJhPBoX78s/screen_shot_2021_10_17_at_19.08.22.png) (if you aren't sure what SBI is, it's kind of lifetime payment system. You can read about it [here](https://steemit.com/steembasicincome/@steembasicincome/helpful-sbi-resources)) And thank you all for your wonderful poems! *** ## Next Week ~ Next Prize ## Next week will be the same reward — shares of Hive SBI. 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 5-2-2-1) (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: 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.
