Dewdrops Contest - A Further Reminder - Angel L Villanueva's Blog

About Angel L Villanueva

Bloggers Photo

Poetry is an art form I've enjoyed for many years. I'm particularly fond of the lyrical flow of classical poetry and so make use of several of the better-known forms, like the sonnet, Rubaiyat, couplet, and quatrain.

I also post my poems at my website, angellionel.com

Dewdrops Contest - A Further Reminder

Blog Posted:6/18/2022 7:53:00 PM

From what has so far been submitted, I can see it will be a challenge to judge the entries in this contest!

As an additional reminder, please ensure the required ABAABB rhyme scheme is adhered to. If not, out of fairness to those who are adhering to the rules, the poem will not place. This is something I would very much hate to see, especially in the case of an otherwise exceptional piece.

Also, I have seen a couple of poems exceeding the required six lines per stanza. Too, some are not keeping with the required eight-syllable count on at least one line, going over or under by one syllable. In these cases, the fix would be simple and would not spoil the line. Please double-check your entries and make corrections as needed.

Thank you!

Thank you, Constance. I will do the best I can when judging each poem. I'm also keeping in mind that this is an international poetry site, not just an American one, and thus allowances may need to be made in cases of grammar or spelling. I won't be overly strict on this point. However, I will be so when it comes to adhering to the form used, i.e., the number of required lines and rhyme scheme.
