Help me dual competion ?

Blog Posted by Dorothy Gibbons: 7/5/2026 12:42:00 PM

Well guys im confused .com ha ha Someone challenged me to a dual I accepted. I dunno what to do. I emailed back to poetry soup saying I've accepted but I know says got 3 days to do it. But thats my issue . Do u get a topic to do poem on obviously both must get same. I feel a twit being the new kid on block. I dunno what I've let myself into. Any advice my dear poetry buddies would be so grateful. The confused Scottish one :) <3 ha ha ~ Dorothy aka ( scottydotti )x

As mentioned below: I love the secracyy aspect - non-bias voting for the best poem, or the one you like best.

Good luck. I can't even keep up with regular challenges. You are brave to accept this duel! I wonder where people are finding the time for all these new activities.

Hi Dorothy, once you accept the duel it shows you your prompt in a box....In action you press accept....Once you've done that under the section that says write, you press to submit/write a poem.... It takes you to a box that gives you more detail on what you need to include in your work and then you start writing... once you are ready you then press submit and then the soup community has a few days to vote between your poem and the poem of whoever challenged you... you will not see this poem in your list of poems for it remains anonymous so votes don't become biased. Hope this helps :-D ...Enjoy duelling.
