Alice's Challenge... XD
Hokay - so this is my challenge and it will be challenging. Though I hope its not too challenging...
Here we go:
You must write a poem. Select your difficulty level on a scale of 1-10, 1 being easy and 10 being challenging. I will provide you the subject that the poem will be about along with the setting, where the poem must take place. I will then give you 6 words that must be used in the poem - but they can't take away from the subject or setting!
Note: The higher the difficulty level, the more requirements.
Difficulty levels 7+ must include a metaphor - not a simile. There's a difference. A metaphor is a comparison between two things without using "like" or "as", whereas a simile is a comparison between two things using "like" or "as".
Those who are daring enough to pick a 10 must have the metaphor and also include an allusion
An allusion (not illusion) is a reference to a well known literary piece of work or a well known historical event.
Ex: In my poem Forthcoming Renaissance After The Gloom there is the allusion to the Red Sea:
I gracefully cross my own Red Sea of salvation ** Please in your summaries include a side note of the allusion. I don't know everything there is to know, so I may not be able to pick up on it. If you provide an explanation/background info that will save me from googling it and trying to research it ** And so that is my challenge. Brace yourselves... But more importantly... Have fun! ^^
