I've been wanting to bring this back for months now. This was the most fun, poets!
Here's a link to the original thread.
This is a LIVE poetry challenge. Two poets sign up for the duel. They meet on this board at the appointed time. A person chosen to moderate the gunfight will then give the dueling poets a topic to write about and a time limit. As soon as they receive it, they have the specified time (for example, 30 minutes) to create the poem and post it on the thread.
There will be 3 judges who will have up to 24 hours to judge the poetry based on:
"The judges should award the winner to the poet who:
1) Completes their work in the allotted time, and...
2) Best illustrates the subject matter."
The judges, who volunteer for this job, PM their decisions to the gunfight mod, who will then announce the winner.
And now here's the really fun part! During the gunfight, other posters are encouraged to post comments like these:
Damn! A stray bullet quicker than haiku just whizzed by me!
stop that shooting! (running through to the saloon, dodging bullets)
Let me know if there is any interest in this challenge and we'll see if we can get together a good, ol', bloody, poetry gunfight!
Make sure you check out the old thread.
