Short and meaningful

Ok well I am thinking of seeing how much meaning can be captured in five lines of poetry.
There is one little catch though... The rhyming scheme should be ABCBA

No wfor the rules...
1. Limit swearing and no erotica
2. If you are just entering only for the fun part and not for m,aking sense... DON't BOTher
3. No sticky caps
4. Have fun while attempting this.

Simple isn't it......

Please keep checking for updates

Good luck

  • Final notes:
    This was so hard to judge. This is the first contest I can say that was truly a success.... If you realise I had to put an extra HM. I wanted to put more but then I'd end up giving to all...lol... anyway guys, this was a success so I'd like to throw another part to this contest... Is it possible for the top 10 winners to IM me to let me know if you'll be interested...

    This was truly a great contest. Thanks to all the participants and good luck to you...
    Congrats....

    it saddens me to see this craze for 5 or 10 line poetry, whatever happened to deep thought in poetry

    I would enter but I have no idea regarding rhyming schemes...I rhyme to the tune played in my head, not to alphabets Hope you get some great entries
