100 Days of Poetry Challenge
-----Update [Day 15]-----
Winners of Day 10 announced!
Introduction
It's now Day 15 out of 100 along our daily poetry challenge. Day 15 officially began at 6 PM GMT on March 21. If you want to join in our challenge come to our daily classes on the Steem Schools discord and introduce yourself! The next one will be held at 6-8 PM GMT on March 22.
Changes to challenge operation & reminders
Tomorrow will be our first in-depth poetry feedback session, where we will hear a presentation from @geekorner about how to improve your skills on critiquing poetry and have some time to review your pieces in depth (less than 250 words please.) If you want to get some unique insight into your writing and accelerate your artistic growth, I'd highly recommend you to submit your pieces for review during those sessions. Being willing to hear this type of criticism is indicative of confidence in your work and determination to move forward.
We have an official account for our Steem schools poetry community now, over at @steemitpoetry! The introduction was posted there today, check it out!

Class recap
In today's class we picked at a topic noted in yesterday's class as something we should explore: "Reading yourself into poetry." That is, the idea that the magic in writing lies in the interaction between the author's words and the reader's own projections. Along these lines, we looked at a variety of writing styles ranging from quite dense to very short to discuss the differences in our perception of them. Here is a list of some of the poems looked at in class:
"Byzantium" by W.B. Yeats
"2 Little Whos" by E.E. Cummings
"Fragment" by Ezra Pound
"After apple picking" by Robert Frost
"The red wheelbarrow" by William Carlos Williams
Gratitude
Many thanks to all for your tireless efforts in writing, reading, speaking, and listening!
If you're finding this challenge late and want to get involved, please come to our classes at 6PM-8PM in the Steem Schools discord. We want to keep growing the community of poets and poetry appreciators! All are welcome. https://discord.gg/yZvYjfM

Congrats to the winners!!
And it is kind of poetry competition which is good :)
well done everyone, glad so many are still going strong, what an awesome journey we are all on.
Firstly congratulations to the winners. That's greatest poetry contest arranged by you @d-pend. Keep in mind and keep going.
Have a nice day.
Those are awesome poems you discussed in Steemitschool class @d-pend. I'm sorry I missed out. The best part about the contest update posts is what you share about the class of the day. I wish I could hear more it but don't have the time to connect live.
Congratulation for all winners.
Being a winner on World Poetry Day 2018 is a great honor beyond expected.
Thank you, steemitschoolpoetry and @d-pend.
Poetry is an art form in which human language is used for its aesthetic qualities in addition to, or instead of, its notional and semantic content. Thanks for promoting this art form on steemit.
Nice job @d-pend
Keep up the good work..
