RE: Poetry Slam Challenge 5: From Liquor to Vicar [ORIGINAL]
Hi @geke,
A funny poem wrapped into tricky assonance rhyming.
I think poetry challenge is a great idea for people who write poetry. Unfortunately, I am not one of those. I write short stories and would be very glad if there would be a Steemit short story challenge as well. I used to participate with the yahoo writing group that offered an ongoing challenge like this. The site owner was giving a title once a month and the entire group wrote a story on this title. Then when submissions were posted and before the panel of judges determined, which story is the winner, this time, all the participants could post their comments/critique. That was both fun and frustrating at times. In Steemit context, would definitely generate an original content. Not sure whom I should communicate this idea. Do you know?
Cheers
Well, I would suggest that you start that challenge! That's how the poetry challenge started, just someone decided to do it. However, if you'd like advice or help I'm sure @prufarchy would be a valuable resource. I'm also willing to help if I can. I write some fiction, so I'd be happy to join in if this contest gets started. I'm sure it would become popular!
Thanks. I wrote to @prufarchy Let's see what he will answer. I am not such a great organizer. Also, I think the challenge should be posted by someone who has more weight in the Steemit system. If I do this only very few people will notice. Plus, we need to implement somehow the voting mechanism. That is, every reader has to grade the story on the scale of 1 to 10. Then the scores for each story are averaged and the winner emerges. The winner can be given some symbolic icon. Something lika that.
Cheers
