Updates for contest "Hard Choices"

Blog Posted by Dr.Ram Mehta: 6/30/2014 8:16:00 AM

I have received uptil now 29 entries out of which 9 entries are not in Quintain form. They are light poetry, I do not know, ABC, quatrain, narrative, Carpe diem. rhyme, free verse and couplet.

One poem is listed as quatrain but it is Quintain. Some poems do not follow rhyme-scheme of ABABB

Still there is time, please correct your entries and if need be,  I will give you time for that before judging.

Wish your muse fully activated,

Hi Dr. Ram, Thanks for letting us know. I had a mistake in one line regarding rhyme, but I've corrected it now. Even though I put up a blog asking people to reread their poems, none did. I hope others read your blog while there's still time to edit their poems. Take care, Carolyn

Yeah I caught myself on the Quatrain, but I have wrote you a quintain as well and as a result of your contest you have inspired two well thought poems from me, so thanks :) was fun learning both of the forms I had never done before :)
