Changing Rhyme Schemes

I can't be the only one with the habit of changing rhyme schemes during my poems right? This contest is to help me find out.

Other than that, no rules. Randomly bang your shift key, hate on whatever you want (except other people in the contest), cuss like it's going out of style, erotica, whatever. I really don't care.

Bonus points if you have a pre-write that fits the contest parameter (that way I know you really do change schemes and didn't just do it for my contest).

Have fun.

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on November 11
  • Rewards: Gold: 500, Silver: 300, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 3 people
  • Final notes:
    I really didn't expect this much great work to be entered. It pained me to give Brahma Revisited another medal because it has like a million already, but it really is quite a piece. Fanny Mae's Salon gets second for being such a great and original narrative and Frozen gets third for being the most emotionally charged piece in the contest. On a different day, in a different mood, three different poems might have made the top 3, that's how good I feel some of you honorable mentions are.
