100 Days of Poetry Challenge
-----Weekly Update [Day 71]-----
New Assignments - Week 11 Begins.Leave your comments from last week's assignment below.
Introduction
Hey everyone! We've made it to Day 71 on the 100 Day Poetic Path. Less than a month remains! Week 11 (out of 14) officially began at 6 PM GMT on May 16th. As was requested, I made a basic spreadsheet showing the calendar dates for each day of the challenge, as well as when weeks begin. Note that the final "week" has two extra days in it since 100 does not go into 7 evenly.
Comments and Weekly Finds
Please comment the results of your Week 10 Assignment on this post. It should contain these things:
- The names of the two poets to whom you were assigned to leave impressions.
- Links to the poems you chose to leave them feedback on.
- A link to your "Weekly Find," which is one poem by anyone in the challenge in the past week you found notable.
Thank you to all who did their first and second assignments. I know it's extra work, but I hope you've enjoyed getting more in-depth feedback than you might otherwise. Remember that you can be creative in how you lay out your comment report!
Remember also if you'd like to get a poem of yours critiqued live during our Critique Thursday session you should DM Guy (Thunder_God#4441) on Discord the links to feedback you left in the past week and a poem of yours you want detailed feedback on by the Wednesday before. (It must be 250 words or less due to time constraints.) Even if you can't attend class you can get a piece reviewed because there will be an audio recording of the class for you to listen to at your leisure.
Not enough people sent their comments to this week, so the Critique Class for tomorrow is canceled. Please respect the time and energy he has pledged to this project by sending them by Wednesday, May 23rd at 12 PM UTC for next week's class. Even better - why not send them now, ahead of time?
Assignments for Week 11
The next assignments are listed below. Note for those that use a smartphone to access Steemit: you may only be able to see one column in the table. Please log in using a computer to view both of your assignments, or comment below asking if you absolutely cannot. Every week I use a different method to pair people up. As a result, there some overlap from previous assignments, so if you have the same person as you have had in the past, it is indeed intentional.
Overall, I've been pleased with the results of this experiment. Have you? Feel free to share your testimony in your comment. A few of you did not link me your comments for the first assignment, and I will comment asking about it below. Remember that you can completely express your own style when giving feedback, the comments need not be rigidly analytical. Poetic prose is a nice way to pay tribute to a poem that resonated with you.

On Wednesdays we have flexible sessions where we can share our poetry or hold discussions on various topics related to the arts. Thursdays remain our Critique Sessions led by , however, tomorrow's session will be canceled due to lack of entries sent by the deadline.
The time for all of the classes is the same as before: 5-7 PM UTC in the Steem Schools Live Class section of the Discord. Please join when you can, and let anyone interested know they are welcome to participate!
