The I Do Not Know Poetry Form Contest Honorificabilitudinitatibus

Via intellect, passion and creativity combine. Talented dedication originates super stars’ shine. Genuine genius discovers many great mysteries. Songwriter poets harmonize synchronized words. Painters and photographers traverse subjects’ allure. Selfless fearlessness embodies a soldier sojourn. Honor often desirable by mankind, Cattle and bovine can achieve. Cash and blue ribbons received. Fruition of dreams hope conceived. Gifted animal husbandry interweaved. Dog shows and field trials Pageants and talent shows – Coveted titles for sports – Successes by practice refined. Academic achievements awarded Cosmic accomplishments afforded. Self-esteem transported soars! Sublime humility. Reputation enhances.

Well, sadly Andrea didn't choose it as a winner, but, like you, I was also educated! Not only by the word Honorificabilitudinitatibus, but also that there is a form with diminished word count instead of diminished syllable count like the form: Diminished Hexaverse. I tried to locate the form described in the contest...unsuccessfully. So, maybe it is a new form to go to Andrea's credit. It might not be a winner, but it was certainly a fun challenge. Big Smiles. Thanks for you wishes for luck, Casarah. Have a super day.
