Greenmountaineer's challenge worked so well, here's a second chance for the still-brave, masochistic, or just plain die-hards, from his thread's instructions:
A(nother) good opportunity to hone some of those poetic and critic skills:
Take an early draft of a poem or an old one with flaws in it and send it to me (Mer in this case, to be perfectly obvious):
I'll start to post poems anonymously on May 15, each for 48 hours more or less, to enable others to critique it before posting another submission for critique. Critiques are encouraged but not required. Posters may also agree or disagree with other posters, thus provoking thought and possibly more comments. The length of the challenge therefore depends on the level of interest according to the number of submissions.
We'll aim for about 8 poems, give or take, and give priority to those who did not participate in the last Double Blind.
The submitting poets will be able to get feedback and then send me their revision no later than a specified date (roughly May 31), at which point I'll post all of them together, again anonymously, so that people can guess at authorship, which will thereafter soon be disclosed, completing the challenge. If a poet doesn't send a revision, I'll assume no change was made, and I will re-post the original.
Please send me a PM with your intent to participate. It was great fun the first time, folks. Here's the encore!
