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!

It is quite intriguing indeed! Oh but to be witness to that would be greatly entertaining. Hello Deb :)

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.

Deb M

No poetic language or personal info Victor….lots of tweaks needed….like changing sound of voices haha!! We will never know….Cuddles…Debx

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

Glad you liked Sara….would be so interesting and fun!! Thankyou….Debx

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. :)

I personally don’t think it would be so easy Arthur….would interesting to see! Again, sorry about your loss of your dear friend Darren! Debx

Ilene Bauer

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!

Deb M
Date: 6/13/2024 5:28:00 AM

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..................
