<center><h1>100 Days of Poetry Challenge -----Update [Day 22]-----</h1>*Winners of Days 13–16 announced!* **(Week 2 winners as well)**</center> ___  ___  ___ <center><h2>Introduction</h2></center> Hi! Happy Wednesday! Welcome to the update of our challenge of 100 days for Day 22. Day 22 will officially start at 6 PM GMT on March 28. Remember to stay within a few hours of this deadline when posting, if you can. *(For example, you have a few more hours to keep posting for Day 21.)* If you are on a different day, then you must have taken some skip days at some point. ALWAYS title your posts the day of the contest, not the number of your entry. **So if it's your 19th poem but it's day 22, title your post for day 22.** ___  ___ <center><h2>Changes to challenge operation & reminders</h2></center> The biggest change to the challenge is the shifting of the poetry class to 1 hour earlier. Now it will run from 5–7 PM GMT. The main reason is to accommodate people who recently shifted times for daylight savings time. **Also, there is a major update coming soon about how people that want to join the challenge late can participate.** Look out for that information either late today or tomorrow. I also plan on shifting some people up in category and some down in category after Day 25, because we will be ¼ of the way through! ___  ____ <center><h2>Daily & Weekly Winners</h2> *Day 13–16 winners are announced! To make it cleaner with several days, here are the winners arranged in a table. Below I'll list the weekly winners for Week 2 (8-14.)*</center> || Beginner | Intermediate | Advanced | |----|----------|----------|----------| | 13|["Rebirth to the world of my own" by @mrbreeziewrites](https://steemit.com/steemitschoolpoetry/@mrbreeziewrites/100-day-poetry-challenge-day-13-poetry-rebirth-to-the-world-of-my-own) | ["Abstract minds" by @dmilliz](https://steemit.com/poetry/@dmilliz/abstract-minds-100-days-of-poetry-day-13) |["E I" by @mamadini](https://steemit.com/poetry/@mamadini/e-i-day-13-of-100-poetry-challenge) | | 14|["World of poets" by @corderosiete](https://steemit.com/poetry/@corderosiete/world-of-poets-day-14) | ["Shape of stillness" by @stephenparato](https://steemit.com/poetry/@stephenparato/shapes-of-stillness-100-days-of-poetry-day-14) |["The catalyst" by @figuringoutsrn](https://steemit.com/steemit/@figuringoutsrn/the-catalyst) | | 15|["Wasted generation" by @levitated-mind](https://steemit.com/steemitschoolpoetry/@levitated-mind/100-days-of-poetry-challenge-day-15-wasted-generation-5d72bd21df0c8) | ["Blank page" by @sansoncarrasco](https://steemit.com/steemitschoolpoetry/@sansoncarrasco/ssp-100-day-challenge-day-15-pagina-en-blanco-or-blank-page) |["A beetle" by @funmiakinpelu](https://steemit.com/steemitschoolpoetry/@funmiakinpelu/day-15-of-steemit-school-poetry-a-beetle) | | 16| ["Nothing" by @whack.science](https://steemit.com/steemitschoolpoetry/@whack.science/100-days-of-poetry-day-16-nothing-nista-eng-cro-version-original-poetry-art) | ["Immorality" by @josediccus](https://steemit.com/poetry/@josediccus/immorality-an-original-poetry-day-16) |["Girl chasing" by @fego](https://steemit.com/poetry/@fego/girl-chasing-100-days-challenge-day-16) | <center><h1>Week 2</h1>**Days (8-14)**<h2>Beginner — @whack.science </h2>**["Invisible breath"](https://steemit.com/steemitschoolpoetry/@whack.science/100-days-of-poetry-day-9-invisible-breath-nevidljivi-duh-eng-cro-version-original-poetry-art)**<h2>Intermediate — @josediccus </h2>**["Ugonma"](https://steemit.com/dsound/@josediccus/20180315t105022394z-the-african-daisy-ugonma-an-originally-spoken-dtube-poetry-day-8)**<h2>Advanced — @mamadini </h2>**["Blood beads"](https://steemit.com/steemitschoolofpoetry/@mamadini/blood-beads-day-9-of-100-poetry-challenge)**</center> <center>*Thanks everyone for your hard work and creativity! I already sent 3 SBD to the daily winners, and upon publishing this I will be sending 5 SBD to each of the weekly winners.*</center> ___  ___ <center><h2>Class</h2></center> Today's class will be on the topic of **"reaching a little further"** in our poetry. Shout out to @yahialababidi for mentioning this concept several classes ago. It has to do with sitting with the feelings & concepts of a piece before immediately writing them down in the most obvious way. It helps us maneuver around clichés and find unique avenues of expression. Please come take part during 5–7 PM GMT in our Steem schools live class: https://discord.gg/yZvYjfM. We hear new people introduce themselves in the first 20 minutes, then the lecture period of class begins. At the end for 30-45 minutes we share each other's poetry. Hope to see you there! ___  ___ <center><h2>Workshops / Special Events</h2></center> No workshops or events are currently announced. If you are interested in holding one in the future, please let me know! We are interested in organizing an international poetry reading event where we can hear people recite poetry in their mother tongues. It is fascinating for us even when we can't speak the languages! The tones, rhythms, and cadences do much to inform us of the meaning on an intuitive level. Let me know if you are interested in reading your non-English poetry at an event like this or know someone who might be! ___  ___ <center><h2>Gratitude</h2></center> Thank you so much to everyone involved in this challenge, including all the moderators of the Steem schools forum. You all do much work to ensure the smooth operation of our group. Special thanks to @flysky, @nikolina, @d4rkflow, @dobartim, @whack.science, @ajremy, @carmalain7, @acousticsteveo, @hopehuggs, & @himswheta for helping out in various manners on this project.
