I'd find nirvana, if I could, on distant coast by lapping bay, far from all strain of daunting day. Sustain no drama, as I should, an ataraxis of my mind that is a spot I'd wish to find. If I ask you to join, you would find full placidity flows not from finding an idyllic spot. Unlock this truth that long has stood: it's good to know tranquility, pursuing kind civility. Concordant harmony is good; it's worth our diamonds and bankroll to own it in our inmost soul. I'd find nirvana, if I could, sustain no drama, as I should. If I ask you to join, you would unlock this truth that long has stood: concordant harmony is good. Lipogram A lipogram is a composition from which the writer systematically omits a certain letter or letters of the alphabet (in this case, the letter 'e'). Constanza Created by Soup's own Connie Marcum Wong, a Constanza consists of 3-line stanzas of 8-syllable lines, where the first lines of each stanza are monorhymed and combined to form the final stanza. The remaining lines of each stanza are rhymed couplets.

Congratulations on your winning placement, John. You wrote an amazing poem combining two difficult forms. Not only that but you expressed a deep seeded desire in all of us too find "nirvana." Nice to share the podium! Blessings!

Congratulations John! Your poem earned a distinguished place in my contest, due to the technical demands of this form it was a difficult contest to both enter and judge, but your poem spoke to me. Very well done my friend, Emile.

"If I ask you to join, you would" Yes. Just to drift away- to another time. Your thoughts take me there. Sweet moments in Paradise. :) Makes me smile. :) Brandy

So many rules, and you executed them all perfectly John. Wow! It flows so well if you had not given us the notes I would have assumed this just flowed right out of your brain. Well done!
