Description:

This is a swap for all poetic talents and for those who like to explore if they are a new Shakespear!

First, pick your favourite famous painting. You have to write a poem about that painting without mentioning the title or the artist. If you're able to male it rhyme please do, but this is not a requirement. The poem should at LEAST be 16 sentences long.
In addition, you write the title and artist on another piece of paper (or print it, or maybe you have it on a postcard) in a separate envelope. That way, your partner can guess what painting you wrote about. They will have the right answer in a separate envelope without spoiling the mystery. So... in steps:

  1. Think about a painting.

  2. Write a poem about it, it can rhyme but it doesn't have to. At least 16 sentences.

  3. Put the poem in an envelope.

  4. Write the title and artist on a separate piece of paper (print, postcard), put it in another envelope and close it. Put it in the larger envelope where you put the poem in.

  5. Include a note with your nickname and the swap title.

  6. Close the envelope, put your partners address on it, postage and send it off.

I am allowing newbies and I will angel if someone flakes, but I will ban any profile that looks suspicious.

I am making this a type 3 swap because we will be creating something, even though it is not with our hands.

If you receive your swap, be gentle to those that don't have English as their native language.

What if someone wants to write only 8 lines?

Then this swap is not for them, I suppose :-)
