Juliet

She stood there on the balcony
watching him riding off to war
her heart was full of mutiny
crushed she held onto the bar
there would be no matrimony

Juliet was full of acrimony
hating the powerful Tsar
far away the cacophony
the sound of the battle of war
drifting up to the balcony

Juliet waited for his pony
hearing distantly his sitar
his voice singing songs so corny
she ran to him down the sandbar
now there could be matrimony

contest: Juliet

my first Quintella I hope I got the form right

I do not recall seeing this order of rhymes in a quintella before, but that is perfectly fine as it is within the rules and shows originality on your part. Now you've got me wanting to try it :) However, the soup definition does stipulate iambic tetrameter for every line, meaning eight syllables per line and alternating unstressed, stressed syllable all the way through. Hard to explain briefly, so I don't know if this makes sense.

This was such a fun poem to read, much more lighthearted than nearly all the others. Such an engaging story as well. Thanks for reading all the other winners. Some of them are new and don't get very many.

It must be 1812, and the Russians are driving Napoleon back to France. That's the impression I get when I read this. This is an impressive write.

Beautiful and amazing, the battle of war. I don't know much about the form. Linda, it flows well, and hopefully there could be a matrimony. . Take care & enjoy Valentine's Day with family and friends. :) ~SKAT
