Mauna Kea (White Mountain) is 13,760 ft, on the 'Big Island' of Hawaii where 202,000 islanders reside. On the windward/eastern side, is the county seat and its largest town of Hilo (to bond)--pronounced, HE-low, home to 43,000. It is my birthplace and where I now call home--once again--after a 40-year absence.

Aloha!

Rural life on the island of Hawaii, I held an interest in poetry since my shortened year in high school--having graduated at a young age. 'The Collection Plate', was my first published work in 1977 by a major national magazine. That opened the door for others to appear in several published anthologies throughout my early career.

My family grew up on the mainland. Kenny, Ricky, the twins Liz and Franky (who had passed 01/14/2022 at 35 years old), Princess, Rose, and Kimo, twelve grandkids, and three great-grandsons. I met my significant other of 25 years, Elyse, of Spanish and Swedish descent from Seville, Spain, on my 17th birthday. We both attended the University, being four years my senior. Sadly, she died shortly after Kimo was born.

I retired after 48 years and successfully sold online for a few years while passively engaging a writer's aspirations.

We're still in Costa Rica and kids went to the east coast and we're all fine, very nice here  Several hours quiet time catching a needed health-out--OK. for myself, and ended up formulating the wherefores and whys of this particular conceived contest.

 

I thought to foci on the various poetic forms that are out there and readily available whereby the average skilled writer exercises their abilities to that specific poetic format, for whatever it may be, as an added exposure assuring themselves of a noted accomplishment, and that a book is in order, as many writers centralized their works, though they hitherto about dabbling in other forms, yet some we'll find public opinion, be they so ever humble as, William Sonnetspeare.

 

Howbeit he is a rare exception to the annals of poetry cotribution, in all formats aside from the noted. I thought, to oblige that fact and indulge in various formats, like other PS sponsors who have attributed their works to entertain your challenge with some added variance to said predesigned formats, as there are more than one. 

 

Alas, an ape is loose in the woodwork. Yes, PS soupers a challenge to extract quantum knowledge that can be established in Shakespeare's, "Taming of the Shrew," ... by simple extraction of the better you. Quantum knowledge, makes life simpler in a world of inhibitions, or algorithms--a noted PS cushion.
