Lol, no!

Do you have Jollof rice, coleslaw and gizzard?
Moi moi or ripe plantain can always substitute for the coleslaw.

By the way, chilled water would aid the digestion wink
Thanks!

ROUND 2 - HOT TOPICS:

-A pool of topics would be released.
The topics would be divided into 3 section:
20 points, 10 points, 5 points which are bonus points.

-The contestants would pick the topics they are comfortable with.
Contestants can choose challenging topics, there is absolutely nothing
wrong with coming out of one's comfort zone
Contestants can stick to their usual style of writing.

-Note that, it’s possible to choose a topic that has 20 bonus points,
and still score low marks. The quality is what we would be evaluating.

**So, choose topics you would do justice to. Remember, the judges need to be convinced **

-The contestants are to write poems on any of the topics.
-Present the poem to the viewers using visuals, graphics, etc.
-A PowerPoint presentation of not more than 1 slide needs to be submitted along with your write up.
-If you do not know how to use PowerPoint, use CorelDraw, Paint or any other software you can maneuver.
-The judges would score the contestants.
-The coordinator would tally the scores with the bonus points, and 10 writers would be shortlisted
to move on to the third round.

For example:

2) Romancing the stone
3) Social Corporate Responsibility

5 points

3) Crime of Passion


ROUND 3 - PEER EVALUATION:

-The contestants are going to grade themselves.
-The contestants would release their questions,
it can be based on their poem or something happening in the world that is related to their poem.

I have gone as far as I can gocheesy.
Mid-July, I would release the topics.
This is to give members ample time to prepare their write-ups.

July ending, I would remind and teach you how to present market your poem.
We are going to take Poetry Writing to another level cool. It's better experienced!

Whole souled
Whole hearted

All might
All strength
shod with feet
that ne'er departed

Composed missiles
In the heat of adversity
The large shield of faith
Dissolves animosity

Should a sneak fly by
Around the loins
girds Truth:
It endures
It overwhelms
... the spy
whose name...
... is The Lie

Faculties of reason
Is fortified and antibodied
Against Mind-hackers
of all times and seasons

ANNOUNCEMENT:

In Regards to this -> https://www.nairaland.com/1180563/poets-caf%C3%A9-chat-room/8#16063465

An adjustment has been made on the structure.
There is no need for the poets to design anything for the competition,
they are to concentrate on writing the poems.
I would assign one designer to each poetry writer.
I am doing everything possible to get IT guys,
graphic designers and arts gurus from the Science & Technology section, on board for this.
These designers would create the cover page for each poem.
So, the competition has a twist/spice to it.

Poets
- would only concern themselves with writing quality poems

Designers
- would imagine the writers are releasing their books, and
they would design a cover page for the poems.

Visuals, graphics and pictures make things interesting wink

Please, we need designers!!!!
