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 :)

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:

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:

It is November 24th and the deadline has been reached.
The winner is cacian!
