Hello poets,
Some of you have probably already caught DarkGlasses' thread asking for poets to submit works based on his artwork for the newest art challenge. That art challenge, seen here: https://forum.literotica.com/showthread.php?t=424169 , is for all the artists who'd like to participate and hopefully utilize the talents of the poets in the process. If you'd like to drop your name in the hat as being available to produce poetry for the artworks created for that challenge, feel free to drop the other artists a line in that thread.
Now for the second part of my plan to take over the world. Pinky, hand me my plans ...

One of my original thoughts pertaining to the poetry + artworks idea involves a bit of a competition for the poets. It starts off very much so like the challenges that are currently held in the Artists Corner; An ingredient is chosen that must be incorporated into the artworks somehow; there's a time limit for concepts and production; voting is done and a "winner" is chosen who will then host the next challenge and choose the next ingredient. In the previous challenges there have been wildcard rules about erotica being mandatory or what have you. Thus opening up each challenge to different interpretations and a broader spectrum of works created.
So, having over-stated all of that ...
The challenges here would be much the same, except the winner of each poetry challenge would then have his, her or its poem go on to be one of the subjects in a new series of art challenges that I'd like to start.
Here's the catch for me; Other than being able to string some very basic rhymes together, I am incredibly ignorant to poetry and all of its finer points and idiosyncracies. The two other things that I'm ignorant to is would there be any interest from the poetry community for this sort of thing? And if so, would someone from the poetry community here like to start the first challenge since I don't have the foggiest idea what to ask for as far as rules, time limits, etc.?
I'd like to hold the Poetry Art Challenges about once a month or once every other month on a consistant basis. We already have several challenges a month currently taking place, and the artists there are pretty good about picking and choosing what they want, or can, work on.
In the end, the original concept behind the challenges was to push the boundaries and talents of those participating. Its never actually been about winning or losing, so if you'd only be interested in this for some glory, well ...
Discuss. Throw me some bones or boot this whole thing in the keister. Your opinions matter the most.
Thank you for your time.
