The Mighty Pen

I'll tell you a story One many have known It’s really quite gory To summon this poem, set the tone On my own Freestyle is my pleasure Words straight from the heart But to learn is a treasure To perfect a new art To get it right from the start So here I am trying something new Words slowly being penned Concentrating soo much, my thoughts set askew The left column guide, my poems’ only friend To get this verse right, right up to the end Now here I am, in the last mile I hope I’m doing this right I start to smile A challenge I took upon first sight To prove a sword strong, but a pen, pure might 09.03.2022 Quintain (English) Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Emile Pinet

How awesome this is, Melanie. And I see you got a win for it. WELL deserved. Quintain is one of the easiest of rhymed forms because you do not have to worry about syllable count. Well done and congrats.

"To prove a sword strong, but a pen, pure might" - Beautiful. You have, indeed, succeeded in your effort. (Joking). Great work. Congratulations!

Congratulations Melody! 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, very well done my friend, Emile.
