OK I must deliberate and I think the piece that got my attention the most is
Dark Muse !!
the following lines are impressive I am fond of Saffron and indigo :)
''saffron hearts smolder like wildfires which cannot be contained,
indigo love plunges with raging force beyond the ocean depths,''
Pendragon: DOC SAVAGE was a lot fun to read too :)
''Going head to head with bad men, monsters, and science gone savage''
is a cracker of a line!!!
so Dark Muse over to you.
Thank you, I will think up a good new form soon.

Your next form is Quinzaine.
It is a three line poem of 15 syllables.
7 syllables in the first line
5 in the second line and
3 in the last line.
The first line is a statement and the next two lines ask a question relating to the statement.
Deadline Oct. 20
Serenity is desired
What should we do then?
Stay or Run?
Pendragon
Quinzaine
I loved it in the morning
and the afternoon.
Your cute smile.
love is all you need. so deep.
would you keep it still?
does it keep?
Ummm, BUMP?
Thank you all for your great entires
Pendragon: I really like how thought provoking and philosophical this short poem was. I really enjoyed how the last line was a bit cryptic.
Melanie: A very touching and hart warming poem, but it did not completely follow the rules of the form.
And the winner is....
cacian: I really enjoyed this one, I think that it conveyed a lot of emotion. I also think it touches upon truth.
thank you very much Dark Muse.
I shall post a new form very shortly :)
ok guys here it is:
Pleiades
7 line poem. 1 word title. Each line of the poem starts with a word with the first letter of the title. So if the title of the poem was 'Sun' then all the lines would start with 'S'.
please write a pleaides and post it here.
due date: 3rd of November.
Structure
Slightly askew
Slightly off center
Staggered and misaligned
Somehow it still balances
Somehow it defies the odds
Sheltering our feelings
Sealing our heart...

People like the number seven,
Pretty odd though small enough,
Plentiful, like big eleven,
Pure of heart though often tough,
Popular in many ways,
Pleasant on most rainy days,
Plain and shy and rarely rough.
Ok time's up. only two entries. never mind ;)
Pendragon i enjoyed structure so much truth in one tidy piece .
and the winner is
YesNo I enjoyed the simplicity of the piece. it reads happily to me :)
Thanks, cacian!
The next form is a limerick.
Deadline: November 24th, three weeks.
Just a bump. Looking for some limericks.
Let's see if I can write a deep one to get people started.
There once was a monster named Moe
Who wrote a sweet limerick, though
It didn't quite rhyme,
Didn't bounce well in time,
But who cares? He's a monster named Moe.
hi YesNo this is a cool limerick indeed.Quote:

is there a numbering of syllables in each line?
here is mine if it is incorrect please do let me know and i will write it again. thank you YesNo.
there was once a little lady
who liked to move ever so slightly
from right to left
she was so quietly
not once anyone noticed her partly.
Dark Muse, I really like your poem Obsession. It is a colorful montage of love is wrapped in a dark shroud. I love how you artfully describe the emotive strains of love turning into an uncontrollable passion.
Thanks for the entry, cacian! Your entry is right enough for my standards.Quote:

I can't remember the name of the meter, but each "foot" has two unaccented syllables followed by an accented one. There are 3 feet in the 1st, 2nd and 5th lines and two feet in the 3rd and 4th lines.
It is November 24th and the deadline has been reached.
The winner is cacian!
Congratulations!
WTG, cacian! I'm so impressed that this was your first limerick, stepped out of your comfort zone, gave it all you had, and came out a winner!! Good poem!
YesNo thank you and Melanie thank you too trying is what it is all about I guess haha ;)
I will think up a new form coming soon.
Ok : a haiku
topic: love.

and deadline is in a week and a half.
the 5/12/13.

Wondering because
what was once comes round again:
sun-lit moon above.
The Ocean Meets the Horizon
The ocean's soul rose
embraced by the horizon
two hearts become one.
The panic is rising
My heart flies and my pulse pounds
No sleep for tonight
great so far please keep them coming love is in the air !! :)
this is well overdue sorry guys and the winner is....
YesNo simply well put an enjoyable and compact piece ;)
thanks to all the other entries :)
Thanks, cacian!
The next form is a Shakespearean sonnet.
Deadline: December 25th
Shakespearean sonnet ey? Seems like I viewed this thread at the right time. Since that is about one of the only forms of poetry I am familiar with I'd say this is a good timing for me to join in on this contest!
Looking forward to reading your sonnet, EvoWarrior5!

I Open at the Close (Harry Potter references, yay)
If death is free and life but captivates us
then what is our purpose in this place?
If there is nothing that could motivate us
then what could bring a smile to our face?
The thought that all we live for is to die
makes any man fall down onto his knees.
But at the end I will not kneel or cry
for there’s one thought that makes me feel at ease:
If life serves merely as a preparation
to death, then just what do we have to fear?
If death is really just my liberation
I gladly wait until my death is here.
When death arrives I’ll greet him as a friend.
I’ll wait with patience ‘till my life’s at end.
The deadline is long past.
It looks like the only entry was from EvoWarrior5. But that was a very metrical entry and fit all the constraints for such a sonnet that I'm aware of. I also liked the idea of life "captivating" us.
Congratulations, EvoWarrior5!
Thank you, YesNo.
I must admit that I am not very experienced with different forms of poetry, and I do not want to pick one that would require too much effort or time on your part; I want to encourage some people to compete.
I looked back a few pages for some ideas and this form given by Dark Muse seemed very interesting and not too difficult:
If you do not mind I will give you this form as well then! To give a bit of originality to it on my part though, the topic will be anything related to sound (music, singing, noises, etc.).Quote:

Morbid brooding, feeling glum.
Where is that singing
Coming from?
People should mind their business
Watch themselves, not others--
What say you?
Oops sound of course 'sound'. here is two if I may :)
the sound of music and light
together they string
flashback fast
tick tock the clock rock a mock
