STRIKES:

I'm giving four hours to complete the assignment and critiques to members who haven't completed, due to lack of participants despite 40 members. Also, this serves as a passive reminder to members who completed the critique and forgot to comment.

I have included all poems sent to me by E-mail in the chapters following this one. Please contact me if I've missed out any poems or made format errors.

Members who have not completed their assignment are allowed to help in choosing the poet of the week but their names will be striked out on the member's board if they earn three strikes.

Critic of the week: kahelia

Poem to critique: Spiritual Encounters in The Coloured Girl Diary

Note: PLEASE ADD #PPC ON YOUR CRITIQUE. Don't just comment a vague "I love it or it was beautiful." Please bother to write a better critique that helps the poet, I don't want to set a line limit but be constructive.

Comment here when done with that poem, I'll mark you down.

***

I request all members to read all of the poems displayed here and comment on TWO poems that you loved the best excluding your poem (duh!).

Include "Vote for poet of the week" in your comment to promote the desired poet to poet of the week to avoid confusion.

Example- #1 Vote for POTW.

The deadline for this is 13th of August , 7:00 a.m EST for both the tasks. We will announce the poet of the week after counting the votes during the next assignment.

If you have suggestions for the topic of week please comment here.

Happy reading, poets.
