Show HN: A site for collaborative poetry

4 points by sriprasanna 15 years ago · 2 comments · 1 min read

A friend and I spent the last few weekends creating a site for poetry duels. The concept was simple: two poets can choose between a verbal face-off or a constructive build-up, to create a poem one stanza at a time. The duel is set against a stipulated time frame, to decide who wins.

The site has started out in decent way, and have managed to have some pretty awesome duels so far. 'Eintein's Gods' turned out to be a rather interesting one. You can view the duel here: http://blackriverpoets.com/poems/9-einstein-s-gods

Given our hatred for signups, we have kept the site it signup free. We worked with social logins instead. :)

So yeah, do rhyme it up here: www.blackriverpoets.com
