Valentine's Ellip

Blog Posted by ... Gigno: 2/16/2016 8:13:00 PM

For those who have posted to my contest, your entries are outstanding and it will be hard to judge! To those who have just found out, I have a contest called "Valentine's Ellip", based on ellip poetry.

Ellip is a form of poetry with nine syllables divided into three lines or words; unlimited stanzas.

Here are examples of an ellip: https://www.poetrysoup.com/poems/ellip#categories

Write your best Valentine's ellip to win $14, paid to you by your preferred method of receiving money.

Look at ... Gignos past blog or his poems to find ellips. They will be listed with form "I don't know". I remember him now. His handle starts with an ellipsis, appropriately, and he comments poems with exclamation points, presumably the more, the better. Now, elliptical poetry is something entirely different, so don't confuse the two.

The link he used is the list of poems in the contest. It will work only for him as he is the sponsor. If you want to see some, look at Gignos poems. I'll provide links to a couple.
