Form Poem Contest

Remember guys, the topic has to be related to sound or music!

The three Magi at my door
Why are they singing
so coyly?

The Harpist

I watch your fingers dancing,
on harp or heart strings?
Will you play?

Ensemble

I listen to leaves and rain.
Is it melody?
Or silence?

I admire that you wrote two, but I have to ask which one of the two do you want to count for the contest? I do not think two entries is fair towards the rest.

Whoops, I'd forgotten.

I am glad that there were a couple more entries, exactly what I was aiming for!

Pendragon, unfortunately your poem did not conform to the topic of sound. It was quite a good piece, but I cannot grade it for the contest.

YesNo, your work was pretty much what I expected beforehand. It's catchy and well composed. Good job!

Cacian, a fast and catchy piece. It sounds nice although the meaning is unclear. That also adds to the mystery.

Barbara, good piece; sounds quite eerie.

Dark Muse, I like how you spoke to somebody else in your poem. The only one of the contestants who did it this way. Nicely done.

Miyako, I find the question that you ask.. striking. A bit hard to try to answer, as well.


Well wow, I find it hard to declare a winner from these.. They are all unique in their own way. I'm going to give this one to YesNo, because I like the wording and the feel to it. I would call Miyako a close second because your question was the most striking.

Well done everyone!

Evo thanks!! and YesNo well done :)

Thank you, EvoWarrior5! And thanks, cacian!

The next form I've never tried. It is called a Cinqku, but there was a whole thread on it that Paulclem started so there are plenty of examples here: http://www.online-literature.com/for...e-for-December

Deadline: February 14th, Valentine's Day

i missed that requirement, Evo. I need to learn to finish reading instructions! Thanks anyway. :)

don't we all :D

It looks like I will have to extend this a couple weeks. I'm willing to change the form. Any suggestions?

New deadline is the end of February.
