RE: Reflections on the 100 Days of Poetry Project #1: Challenge Design

in #writing6 years ago
Hello everyone! It is truly a pleasure to recognize many of the poetic travel companions during the challenge. I greet and congratulate our leader @d-pend, who not only grouped us, welcomed us, observed and guided the growth of all those who completed this trip. I feel that, although it was a lot of work for a single person, he took it well, with all its consequences, even the economic ones because, as seen in the donations table, the weight of the proceeds is in his contributions. I consider that good things are many and bad, few. The most important thing is the growth that has taken place in each one of us, we are not the same as we were before facing the challenge, to be honest. We take ourselves to the limit, we stop sleeping, we strive to create giving the best of ourselves and share, along with others, to read, to penetrate the writing, comment, encourage and create circles of friends who would not we have achieved if we had not been in the same tone. In my case, I am a teacher of Spanish and literature, I did not write before coming to Steemit, at least not to read others. However, my son @wilins, who is a published writer, encouraged my dedication to poetry because he saw qualities in me and doubted, because since the days of college he preferred narration, although it was not bad in poetry. The certain thing is that I entered the contest of the hand of my brother @corderosiete and @d-pend considered with my first poem, that I was an intermediate poet with tendency to advanced and, later I changed what I call Level III. For me, greater responsibility and demand. I do not speak English, which is a disadvantage that took me away from classes, but I found a way to learn by reading the poems of @d-pend: scolding, encouragement; personalized, he was there for me. Therefore, I feel that he transcended his work as a poet, becoming the teacher of his apprentices with each poem. What should I do? I consider this experience worth repeating, adding written tasks, those derived from live classes, so that those who do not speak English, at least we can translate and not lose all the important knowledge that is provided in the classes. I love you all as brothers. See you.
