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, there are FIVE of you who did that.

I have included all poems sent to me by P.M. and 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.

I've decided to run this week anonymously as most members were taking a neutral stand. Doesn't harm to try. To make this fun, you can try guessing the poets too. Let's see how well we've understood each other's style.

Critic of the week: redvelvet8975

Poem to critique: "The truth about you" from "Behind the lies."

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 melodious 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 2nd of July, 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.
