Notice
Before I go on to talk abuot this issue, I would like to remind you all that currently, we are collecting feedback and suggsetions on our Poetry Contest Ideas. Make sure to give it a look and send feedback before the post pays out (on Sunday).
The Method
Each day, I open every poem shared on the Steemit Poets United discord channel. I upvote and comment on my favourites. If they have the #poetsunited tag, I bookmark the poem, and make them eligible for this curation project. Every Friday, after the set amount go to the Daily Issue, I evaluate which poetry I like best, and feature the top 3 in this post.
As some of the poems might be no longer receiving payout when you get to read them, this posts' payout will be shared with the feature poets. This is how the SBD will be shared:
| Rank | SBD Payout |
|---|---|
| First | 35% |
| Second | 20% |
| Third | 10% |
Another 10% will go the @cleansingpoetry bot.
Make sure to share with the #poetsunited tag and be active with the community to have a chance of being featured! Those who drop links and never interact may be excluded from this intiative, as priority is given to those who contribute to the community.

Round-up
We hope that this project encourages you to share more poetry with us, as well as doing your best on each and every one of your poems!
The rewards are dependant on the payout, so be sure to upvote and resteem for higher visibility! The bigger the reward and community, the better opportunities we are providing you.
If you have not yet been chosen, you might still have had a great poem! In the end, I have to select just a few, and as always, my opinion is subjective and is biased to my own likes (although I try to remain objective). Do your best and enjoy being part of the community. You might still be entitled to a virtual hug via comments or discord; so feel free to ask!
Reminder: Poetry Contest Ideas call for feedback and suggestions closes in two days!
