Contest Write in a new form: Monchielle by poetryalityEdit
Description & Prompts
I just want to know one thing. Are there 30 adventurous/advantageous poets on AP that are ready for a real challenge?
Well, if so; there are 30 SPOTS OPEN in this challenge.
My new found friend, Starhiker has created a new form called Monchielle (named after his adorable wife).
Here's an example:
allpoetry.com/Poem/1694407
Here's a column that explains how a Monchielle is written.
allpoetry.com/Column/1616570
Here's my example:
Finality (Monchielle)
by abstract dreamer
When my life is over;
With the last breath I take-
Rice paper wings will spring,
Beaming from my spirit.
With heaven's hosts I'll sing.
When my life is over
I'll be soaring above.
Do not weep long for me.
Away from worldly harm
Finally, I'll be free.
When my life is over,
And this sojourn is done-
A sweet peace will overwhelm.
There will be no more pain...
Christ seated at the helm.
When my life is over,
And my mission is thru
With words I sit, and write
Bethink my random thoughts-
Though I be out of sight.
So, if you want to try something new, and are not intimidated by form poetry, here's a challenge for you.
Because I want young people to try their hand at this form I will;
Your poem must follow the rules of Monchielle.
NOT allow any adult content or profanity.
One entry per poet, no prewrites allowed.
No more than 30 entries so, HURRY!
400 points & GOLD - 1st Place
200 points & Silver - 2nd Place
100 points & BRONZE - 3rd Place
NO Honorable Mentions (Sorry) - All will receive applause just for being brave enough to enter this "new form" challenge.
Me and Starhiker will comment on all entries. I will comment once the challenge is closed. Starhiker may comment at any time.
You have until the 30th of January or so, make it good.
HAVE FUN!

Sam - Congratulations to all the winners! Great contest, guys! Lots of good entries and lots of fun!
- Hi Cassandra,
I am sorry that I did not change the 15 entries at the bottom of the page for this contest. At the top I edited it, and made it 30. I wish you had seen that. We would not have been mad. Next time I hold a contest I will keep you in mind and alert you. Sorry!
Thanks for even considering the entry. Please do try the form anyway.
Renee
- This is a really kool contest, too abd I jsut counted the entries adn there are 21 -_-' well I guess it's too late for me to enter since there are now MORE than 15. Well great contest anyways, I want to try my hand at this type of poetry, I might enter it hehehe Idk... maybe I'll risk you getting mad at me lol.
Cassandra - Hi, Catressa! You managed three stanzas out of four? That is good if you had a hard time writing in this form! If you manage to finish it before the contest closes, I'd be thrilled! If not, send me a link to your poem, and I will comment and critique it anyway. Jim
- For some reason you all I am having a hard time with this form. I think I forgot how to count.. But I got as far as three stanzas and my brain quit. But thanks for teaching me something.. Take Care, Catressa
- Well, it was 15 in the start, but we increased it to 30, because of the speed the entries came in... For the rest, I leave that to you, Renee.
Jim - So which is it, 15 or 30 entries? Lol, why haven't I heard from you Mommy? I im'ed you what I needed help with and figured you hadn't been on, but I saw that you've posted stuff. Where's my Mommy! I miss her! I'm gonna havta check out the instructions to this form, cuz new forms are always fun, but I'm definitely rusty. I haven't written a poem in ages.
- I read it! O' like it! And why shouldn't you create the perfect Moncbhielle, I mean you created this lovely form of poetry.
I'm reallu glad destiny sent me your way!
Renee - I've written a new Monchielle, which I call "Phoenix Rising", located at allpoetry.com/poem/1778116 - Too bad I can't join this contest, if I could, this would be my entry. Hope you like it.
- It is fun to creat this new form. Thanks for the interest and I hope you do get a chance to enter.
Much Love,
Renee - I am going to bookmark this and enter tommorrow, i have run out of poems to post so i need to get commenting quick.
This is an interesting poetry form, it looks fun and similiar to a Villanelle although slighter harder. - Easier done than said. Muhahahahah!
- Hahahahahaha GREAT!
- Ah what the heck! The words both work, how bout we do this adventurous/advantageous. Hahahaha
- Hope to see you enter, Liz! Make sure you do all your homework first, though!
No worry, there's probably still place by tonight. - I hope so too. I just posted it, and so far there is only one entry so, there may be room left. I only asked for 15 entries because my schedule is very busy right now as well so, I do understand. Hope you get a chance to enter.
Renee - Aw, dang! Well, just typical my luck! LOL!
Sorry about that I edited advantageous to adventurous - I've fixed it back again now. Sorry... 
- I guess "starhiker" changed the word to adventurous, but I really did mean advantageous. LOL
- I hope that there's still room in this contest when I get done with work and my homework and everything else that I absolutely MUST do first! This sounds like so much fun!
- Too late, you're a collaborator now!
- I mean "advantageous" as in appropriate for achieving a particular end. Hope you try your pen at this form.
Renee - I can't enter my own challenge. LOL I tried my hand at it with the example up there. LOL I will surely be writing more using this form, probably before the challenge is over.
Edited on Jan 23, 1:02 p.m. because ''. - Thanks for the correction, it's fixed now. Have you considered entering?
- I look forward to reading your Monchielle, JuJuBean430!
- I'm thinking of entering.....
- wow...this seems both interesting and challenging
- Please, enter the contest, and write your best Monchielle ever.
:))
May I enter the contest?- when you say advantageous, do you mean "adventurous?"
