Britt's Contest - Who Are You?

  • Britt

    The challenge is, "Who are you?"... with a twist. I don't want you to write a poem about yourself. You will be writing about someone else on this site (someone that is active and relatively known, please). Make it as obvious or as cryptic as you like - though watch out, the better hidden your poem is, the more points you will generate.

    Everyone will PM me a poem written about another member on this site. At the end of 5 days, I will post all the poems. For the two days after that, everyone is open to post their guesses.. You will guess who wrote the poem, and who the poem is about. You can only guess once, and no changes, so make sure you think about it! Even if you did not write a poem, please still guess (and poets, guess on your own poems to throw people off!) I've done this in my club, and we had someone almost win based on correct guesses alone... they did not post a poem.

    Some rules:

    - No naming names or specifics such as location, screen name or obvious poem title.
    - Be respectful. If I receive a poem bashing someone, I will not post it.
    - When sending me your poem, please make sure you tell me who it's about.
    - Only one poem is allowed.

    The poems will be due Wednesday, June 29th. I will post them around 6pm pacific time.

    Have fun, and if you have any questions, please feel free to ask via PM.

    We've done two rounds of this in my club and it has been so much fun. My favorite part is when everyone guesses who wrote what poem and who it's about.. sometimes people are spot on.. sometimes it's so off it's hilarious.
