Hello All Poetry youth. Why does everyone condescend you? The only contests I see geared at your age bracket are much too cutsey. I for one, believe in your potential. I am myself- an all poetry youth- so I suppose I believe in OUR potential to compete at a more sophisticated level. I am looking for form poetry in this contest. This does not mean poetry that rhymes. It means poetry that pertains to a very specific FORM- with a set rhyming pattern, syllable scheme, or meter to it.
Some great forms to try out are:
The Triolet: http://www.writing-world.com/poetry/triolet.shtml
The Villanelle:
http://www.wikihow.com/Write-a-Villanelle
The Shakesperean Sonnet (You can find directions for this most anywhere)
OR, anything you desire.
I am not demanding any specific form- just that you write a poem within a form and tell me which form that is.
RULES:
1) No emo, cutting, mutilation.
2) Spell properly- and don't be afraid of the thesaurus.
3) In your user comments you must post the type of form you've used. This can be any form- but it must be posted in order for you to be considered.
4) Enjoy yourself.

About the form-I made up a form of poem, and rhyming, myself. I explained it in the Author Notes. Shall I enter?

You spelled "poem" wrong.

Very cool idea. We've had several form contest in the young poet society and they did very well. They even did villianelles
Glad to see this contest and best of luck to everyone
