literary work in which special intensity is given to the expression of feelings and ideas by the use of distinctive style and rhythm; poems collectively or as a genre of literature.
Whether it be nursery rhymes or Shakespeare, we all at one time or another were exposed to the beautiful art that is poetry. We were lectured on the importance of the art, how it shows emotion and detail through words, and the finding of connections to not only our lives, but the lives of characters in novels, movies, or just day to day things. Thatâs what this task is all about; Connections.Â
THERE ARE TWO OPTIONS FOR THIS TASK! :)Â
Your job is to find a poem (NOT WRITTEN BY YOU!) that you feel accurately connects with your character. It can be long, it can be short, it can be silly, it can be serious, it can be old fashioned, or it can be modern- it can be by someone on tumblr, or by a famous poet- any poem written by someone OTHER than yourself!Â
Your task post can be laid out however you want. You can include the lines of a poem throughout a self-para, paste the poem and analyze it, break down the poemâs structure, each word, phrase, and connect it directly to your character- any way you want!Â
Your selected poem (Obviously)
The author of the poem and/or a link to the poemÂ
 At least of 1-2 paragraphs (or 10-15 sentences) of your writing/connecting it to your character. (but we highly encourage you to do more- ESPECIALLY if youâre taking the self-para route!)
A heading that says:  SHRPGTASK24- âName of PoemâÂ
This task will be worth 2,000 points PER CHARACTER! You are more than welcome to find more poems and do this again and again for your character- but you will only be receiving points for one of the task posts!
You must write a poem that is connected to your character! Whether it be their past, their present, their desired future, their personality, their disorder, their relationships- whatever! It can be something they wrote, from a third person view, from your view as their mun- let your little writer heart do as it pleases!Â
A poem with at least 15 lines written by you! (We have ways to find out if you did not write it!)Â
At least of 1 paragraph (or 5-10 sentences) explaining what this poem is about/why you wrote it/the context.Â
A heading that says: Â SHRPGTASK24- âName of Poemâ
This task will be worth 2,000 points PER CHARACTER! You are more than welcome to write more poems and do this again and again for your character- but you will only be receiving points for one of the task posts!
So, pick your poison members! Are you one who likes to analyze and critique the writing of others? Or are you a poet at heart? Whichever task you decide to do- we are sure it will be amazing! This totally seems like a lot of information and if youâre confused- donât fret! We are here to answer any and all quesitions! :)Â
You will be allowed to get points for one option per character! Meaning, you cannot do option one and option two on a SINGULAR character and get points for both! But- if you have more than one character, for each character you do this for youâll receive points!!!<3
Donât forget to tag your posts SHRPGTASK24 and shoot a message to Director Ruby once you have completed it :) This is going to be the last big task before our Winter Event- so rack up those points!Â
You will have two weeks to complete this task- so you have until Monday, December 19th at 12 am EST to get your task posted! :)Â
