    Planning process

    The organizer uses two concise prompts and a short duration. The initial grouping is reviewed and adjusted into three pairs by the host, because the default groups are sized around four participants. Each pair contributes two lines, with a brief optional reading before tea ends.

    Result explanation

    The generated grouping is an aid rather than a locked rule. A host who wants pairs should explicitly make that change instead of claiming the default allocator guarantees them. The five-phase outline gives twelve minutes per phase, making a modest writing goal more realistic than a long contest.

    Alternative

    Have everyone write one line and assemble a single group poem. This removes the need to coordinate paired editing.

    Execution notes

    State the small scope in the invitation and leave time for cleanup. Do not pressure a participant to finish or read within a scoring deadline.
