Welcome to my 3rd contest ;p This time I want fresh writes only! The last few contests have had some amazing entries, I am looking for more of the same. Poetry that lives and breathes, that you can taste and smell. Wow me with your metaphors, and similes.. give me imagery that will transport me into the world of your poem. I'm gonna be picky this contest, if I don't feel your work is cutting it I will DQ. So enter your best!
As the Title of the contest says..I want any and all >>FORM<< poetry, from ethree's to haiku's, tonka's, richtometeres, and anything in between. Give it to me!>> Please include a brief run down of the counts and the name of the form your writing in, in your authors notes. I will be DQing those that don't.<<
Rules-
>>Please put the name of the form you are writting in, as well as a short run down of the counts ( ie 5-7-5- Haiku)in your Authors Notes!!<<
No sticky caps
No cursing
No erotica
Please don't rhyme if you can't do it well and have to force it
Please use spell check and police your counts before submitting.
Do NOT enter free verse, I do not view that as FORM Poetry.
Please do not "make up" a form of poetry, stick to ones already known.
Thanks for entering and Good Luck! ;p

Thank you!
Thrilled to get the Bronze ~ thank you! Although I've grown to love the Pantoum, I still find writing one a bit of a challenge. Though isn't that why we all keep coming back for more?
Thanks for the opportunity and the challenge in your contest. Great fun! -
