Form Poem Contest

Time is up! Thank you for all the contributions.

Pendragon: I wouldn't want to be in Alcatraz either.

Dark Muse: Describing someone leaving by referring to their shadows ebbing and night swallowing day was nice. I liked "blood rains".

cacian: The line about a promise coming across a woe impressed me.

Melanie: That was a beautiful arrangement for the poem with the rhyming sound of "history's mysteries" repeating itself.

Looking forward to your contributions, Nick Capozzoli. That was good trioloet by Bridges.

I find triolets hard to write, but I enjoy reading them.



The winner is cacian.

I enjoyed the combination of "promise" and "woe".

thank you very much YesNo I was not expecting that haha :)
ok will be back with a new form soonish.

ok guys here is the next challenge:

write an acrostic poem:
An acrostic poem could be about anything. An acrostic is a poem or other form of writing in which the first letter, syllable or word of each line, paragraph or other recurring feature in the text spells out a word or a message. Each line is aligned vertically to form one word.

here is an example:

An acrostic poem
Can be about anything
Really
Of course some people like to
Start each line with a sentence
Though
I prefer weaving words into a
Creation that is more freeform

good luck and
due date: 7th of October. about two weeks time.

Hero Pulp Magazines 1933-1949

Down from his eyrie on Empire State Building’s 86th floor
Onto the world’s stage he strode like a God
Criminals and evildoers beware—

Somebody is watching, and somebody’s going down today
After all is said and done you’ll find that crime just doesn’t pay
Vengeance is his for all those who the law cannot protect
Assurances of assistance for those in the throes of death
Going head to head with bad men, monsters, and science gone savage
Evil cannot stand before the Man of Bronze—Doc Savage!

Obsession

Opal memories color my mind in a dream that does not fade,
behind every truth a lie, if only you knew it is all to preserve you,
starry nights in your eyes leave me breathless and senseless,
embers in my soul, it only takes a word from your lips to ignite,
sanguine passions infiltrate my reason leaving me in desperation,
saffron hearts smolder like wildfires which cannot be contained,
indigo love plunges with raging force beyond the ocean depths,
obliterated by your every touch, abandoned in you every motion,
nocturne sonatas murmur within your slumbering ear while I watch.

anymore entrants? only TWO so far :)

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.

Congrats Dark Muse!
Yours was awesome too, pendragon.
That was quick...one week and 3 days!

I've sometimes wondered if it would liven things up
a bit to shorten the deadlines so I'm not complaining.
It was a good form you picked too, cacian. :thumbsup:

oh no!!!!!!!! so sorry I completely misjudged it I thought it was the 30 th the deadline!!!!! oh my I am really sorry my fault.:blush:
Melanie please accept my apologies. :blush5:

No apology needed, I was actually relieved that I didn't need to work on mine anymore tsk tsk. I'm just grateful you post deadlines because sometimes people don't or forget which makes it difficult to calculate how much time you have to work on it.

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

Your cute smile.

love is all you need. so deep.
would you keep it still?
does it keep?

Ummm, BUMP?
