TiBB's War Of The Words
 

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 seriously doubt there are enough people anyway good at poetry on tibb for there to be enough.

I might sign up if I thought there was though :)

lol. You never know. There may be a few.


I would like to think so anyway. :wink:

I would try out :)

its a long time since i wrote anything but i might join

I'd give it a bash.
:)

Really people would try out for it?

That's great.


:cheer2:

I would do it
because my poetry is fit

And don't you know it.

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:

Is this going to happen then? would be great if it did :spin2:

I've decided I'd deffo do this, it sounds fun altho I'm not sure how good I'll be. I have written some great pieces in the past but its been awhile.

That's fine. I'm looking for a varied bunch of writing styles and people. :thumbs:

I actually won a competition for a poem I wrote last year, I only foudn out last week. It got published :D

That's cool. Well done gary. :thumbs:

I was planning on doing this, but went travelling. Thinking about starting it again if there was enough interest?

I'd submit one :D

Updated first post :hugesmile:

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. :/

Doesn't matter if you're not very good, you never know, you may suprise yourself :wink:

I'd give it a go!

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:

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

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 :)

Ok I will write something tomorrow. Prepare to be amazed! :):hugesmile:

dirtyvileHARRYuk posts loads of poems on tibb, maybe he'll join.

Cool I'll contact him. :)

Bumpy bump :)

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

Absolutely, you can write stuff for the theme/style each week and send it to me. I'll then post them after each round :)

ok might give it a go then

I'm not confident you'll be getting that many sonnets.

You haven't said when the deadline for this week is. I didn't get a chance to do mine yet. :shrug:

I'm in so long as you understand that my age is a state secret:joker:

bump

I'd forgotten about this - have I missed it - don't know what the theme/style is for this week
