-Ten Blindfolded Poets

If you seated ten blindfolded Poetry Soup poets around a table
 
That had only ever interacted and connected long term online

Asked the ten to chat to each other and ask questions

Though NO conversation whatsoever of the poetry or personal kind


I wonder if at end of this chat session

When the still blindfolded poets were told ten names

If they could pick any of the poets correct identities

Sounds like a fun and interesting game!

Dear Deb, A wonderful concept and it would be very interesting experiment. I would say that maybe most would be between 25-50% accuracy. - Blessings, My Friend, Daniel

I think one can detect the names if they speak in poetic language.

Good one, Deb. I am not good at learning people's names and being around people either so I am sure I would not have any idea. LOL..I can't imagine what one would talk about when blindfolded, not knowing who the other person/s was, etc. Creative lines penned. Sara K

Yes, John. In a way. Sometimes I wonder if it could be a total hoax and it is a computer reading and commenting. LOL..Or maybe just algorithms answering. LOL..Sara K

I don't know Sara, we write in a blindfolded sort of way as we do not know who reads our poems unless they comment and even then can only imagine through reading their poetry who they are and what they might be like

I think pretty easy, My friend Darren for sure, however sometimes fraudsters, con artists and narcissists are hard to spot at first, profiling is an 80/20 game. :)

what a cool idea, deb! i know very little of the poets i read (with one or two exceptions) other than what they reveal of themselves in their poetry, so it would be a very challenging game, indeed!

Yes it would Ilene! We’d have to do something about the accents though haha! A few tweaks needed! Thankyou Ilene….Debx

Read Darren's last poem post here, he could tell you spot on, not to say, I bet you'd do pretty good yourself, second, he'd tell you Jesus and Santa Claus are not coming back!

I enjoyed reading your very creative/very fun write. Wish we could play this game. It would be so much fun to see the ending of it. Soup should have a once a year get together for us. Have a great/blessed day writing away..................
