Don't know if this has already been done, or if anyone would be interested, thought it would be nice to have a game with a meaning :wink:



But I was thinking of running a poetry competition soon.

It would last about 6 weeks if that.

Each week will have a different style/theme eg. Seasons or Limericks

We will whittle down the numbers until 2 are left to battle to win the War of the Words.

You don't need to be overly active, as long as you were able to submit an entry each week and you can remain anonymous if you like.


If anybody would be interested then PM me with:

Age:
Favourite style of writing:
Least Favourite style of writing:
Favourite Poet/Author:
A poem you have written:

If I can get enough response then this will go ahead.

I'd do it, but my poetry is more comedic than serious LOL

Any type of poetry is accepted. In fact it'll be good to see many different perspectives. :thumbs:

I write every now and then but I don't think i'm good at poetry. I might give this a try. Don't hold me to it though. :/

Ok. Will try. :)

Do you think maybe it would be best to keep everyone anonymous? A lot of people have friends here that will favor them...and I want to win!! :D Jokes. :laugh:

Benjamin
25-10-2010, 09:59 PM
That's the plan, I want it based on the writing not who people are friends with :wink:

What do you mean by Favourite style of writing?

When do we start? Do we have to say age? And I don't have a favorite author/poet or written a poem before. http://i54.tinypic.com/2cylmqs.gif

Benjamin

Well if your prefer writing poetry, what style: Free verse, Rhyme, Song, Sonnet..?

If you usually prefer story writing, then what style of story writing?

That is absolutely fine. You don't have to have a fave author and it doesn't matter if you have written before, poetry comes from the heart :)

Can we join in just for fun if we want - writing occassional poems rather than compete - can't stand the pressure and am not very good tbh but just enjoy sometimes making rhyming poems

Benjamin
26-10-2010, 11:04 AM
Absolutely, you can write stuff for the theme/style each week and send it to me. I'll then post them after each round :)

Ammi
26-10-2010, 11:35 AM

I'd definitely do this! My only claim to fame is winning a poetry competition and having my poem featured in a poetry compilation book a couple of years ago ;D hehe...
