It is once again time to try my hand at contests and today it will be triolets.
How to:
http://allpoetry.com/column/show/1858419
or
http://www.writing-world.com/poetry/triolet.shtml
What I am looking for is an extended triolet. At least 16 lines long. My column gives some of the examples that make this form so much fun to write. As well there you will find links to several poems to use as examples.
Judging:
I judge each poem on:
Form, (not getting the rhyming sequence or the refrains correct is an automatic F grade.)
Spelling,
Punctuation
Flow
Visual
Emotional
Judge's enjoyment
Please note that I will not read your triolet until the contest deadline so you will have to police each other as to getting the form correct.
No prewrites and only one per customer.
Good luck, have fun.

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on April 18, 2007
- Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 50, Bronze: 25
- Final notes: Thank you everyone for making the time and effort to write these poems. They were all a pleasure to read. I judged everyones poems on: form, spelling, punctuation, flow, visual and emotional content, and my enjoyment. I find that punctuation really effect my reading as it controls flow of the poem and effects the readers enjoyment. Again well done everyone.
