Polemic. Well, my opinion is that beyond rules of aesthetic nature, nothing you do to control poetry writing and critique—ever—seems natural.

I will play along, @d-pend, and see how this goes.

I promise that I will tell whenever I find myself uncomfortable, for the sake of honesty and my respect for you, guys. So far, I just can say I totally respect and understand all opinions expressed here. I particularly appreciate the clarity of @prydefoltz’s exposition, who is certainly providing wise warning.

I’m learning to cope with challenge here on Steemit, in general. This is actually soul therapy for me, so forgive me, friends, my moral laxity on these matters.

Besides, I understand that critique is personal and specific regarding purpose, and the purpose of this challenge, as I understand it, is two folded: writing poetry everyday with the benefit of probably winning and profiting from it, yes (and nothing is less poetic than the blockchain); but also promoting #steemitschoolpoetry, which means academic issues and some regulations would reach us at some point.

To sum up, I support the changes introduced in the challenge, and I promise to offer feedback regarding these changes when we're done, for I just can't tell right now.

I hope the fact that I’m tired, for it’s almost 1 a.m. here, has not affected my wits. Good night, beautiful people.
