@zoe_bee , her '100 Poems Challenge' announcement:

The Prompts:
1. Do you prefer metaphor or simile?
[Grammerly:
While both similes and metaphors are used to make comparisons, the difference between similes and metaphors comes down to a word. Similes use the words like or as to compare things—“Life is like a box of chocolates.” In contrast, metaphors directly state a comparison—“Love is a battlefield.”]
2. What is the most important element in a poem for you? Form / structure, meaning / feeing, sound / alliteration, assonance, consonance etc. you can’t say all! Lol
3. What is your favorite school / movement in poetry?
4. Since we see the world through a poets eyes, Does a poet have to live an interesting life for you to like their poetry
5. How does geography play into the poets you like, or does it at all?
[Apparently I don't care about geography cause I didn't answer.]
6. Whitman said, “To have great poets, there must be great audiences.”
Bukowski said, “to have great audiences, you need great poets.”
I said, “unless you have great places for these two to meet it doesn’t matter.” what’s your take?
7. Who do you think has advanced poetry the most?
8. Since the rise of the moderns and free form verse over the last 50 years and more currently the rise of instapoetry, what movements of poetry do you think the future holds?
***
I tag all the beautiful poets in the world. And all the ugly and unpleasant ones too. I even tag the bastards who don't remember to tag anyone at the end of tag videos.

I have closed my comments going forward because while I enjoy making videos, I find it difficult to communicate by text. This isn't a criticism of the many warm and welcoming interactions I've had with people on BookTube (this tiny corner of YouTube). I find social interactions very taxing, especially the tricky back and forth via text. Sorry if you wanted to leave a comment, but this is how I get to be on social media (by not being particularly social).
