Contest Description

Thanks to the lovely Nette Onclaud I really enjoyed her last contest and was pleased with my poem I submitted. I am looking for:

A poem with rhyme scheme: A-B-A-B-A-A

TEN syllables in each line (60 syllables in all)

any theme

check spelling/grammar

howmanysyllables.com- I find this most reliable for syllable count

Old poems accepted too if by some chance you have written one like this

here is my example: ( but I made a change to the end after the contest was over to match rhyme scheme I wanted)

Find me in the salt of your drifting tears,

deep chameleon waters of time lost-

Deluging and immersing in soaked fears,

while the ebb and flow of life pays the cost.

Second by second your timepiece appears-

may the current find me...oh count the years.

thank you!
