Syllable Count for my contest - Choka

Blog Posted by Kim Rodrigues: 8/3/2023 8:21:00 AM

A few people are not getting the syllable count correct. I will give you a chance to correct.

5/7/5 5/7/5 5/7/5 7

5/7/5 5/7/5 5/7/5 5/7/5 5/7/5 7

5/7/5/5/7/5/5/7/5/7

These are a couple examples. In other words, you can choose to separate your verses or keep them together. All poems have a repeat of 5/7/5 syllables BUT must have a final 7 syllable line. Poem length is your choice, just not too long.

Hope this helps. If you want a chance to win you must follow these rules. Thank you!
