This contest is aimed at new or inexperienced rhymers, and is in honour or one of the best Free Versers ever to write on AP Dalaney who fell in love with rhyme and asked that we try to show others what fun it is.
It runs in parallel with a larger series, part one is here http://allpoetry.com/contest/2402139.
Winners of this contest will be invited into the main contest where they will automatically be finalists.
PLEASE do not enter this contest if you consider yourself a practiced rhymer, or if you have won a major prize or two or more HMs in our previous rhyming challenge. (However if you have got awards from us and still think this is the right place for you, please message us and we will decide.)
You may enter two poems, but only one pre-write.
This contest is all about encouraging people to rhyme. We will take experience into account when marking, and we may ask some competitors to move their poems to the main contest.

a good flow and meter with rhyme is sublime.

If you rhyme to well for this game
There's another with subject the same
The prizes are bigger
for writers with vigour
So hurry there don't be so tame

Wont let that contest go to waste
I'll go to enter it post-haste
for rhyme is my pleasure
as Tory is my treasure
But I promise that I'll keep it chaste.
