New poem with the usual contest requirements .

On the theme of ............. A Little Memory

You may write on any past memory but pick just one !


Rhyme Form . . .  in my Invented pattern as per below

Example - A Little Girl's Christmas

https://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/a_little_girls_christmas_1316235

 

TITLE - your choice but I do not like long titles to me 1-4 is okay.

Three Separate Stanza's-

Rhyme Pattern ABCDEF  FEDCBA  ABCDEF 

Note: the rhyming in first stanza ABCDEF, rhymes with second stanza rhymes, and third stanza rhymes.  They are new rhyming words but not new rhymns (see my example poem, or contact me).

Syllables are 12/10/8/6/12/10  12/10/8/6/12/10  12/10/8/6/12/10

Remember separate the stanza's

You may add a quote at the TOP, separated from the poem, only if you wish, this is not a requirement. Do not add your own name if invented, just put By Poet  If another person's add their name after the quote.

You do not have to have perfect rhyming but your poem must rhyme on some level.  Left aligned or centered, or some other creative layout. Images, Audios, and Videos Acceptable.  Do the usual checks for spelling, grammar, rhyming and syllables (I suggest PS Grammar Checker for grammar and spelling.

I will be using HowmanySyllables and RhymeZone to verify syllables and rhymes. I suggest you use the same, in some cases I will use my judgement, particularly in words like doesn't, wouldn't etc

There will be multiple placements.

No names on poems. 

Please DO NOT use the poem you write for this contest in another ongoing contest until this one is finalized.
