1 original, poem on the theme of .............Beautiful sadness
Only English sonnet form is acceptable. I prefer ABAB CDCD EFEF GG
Also this time IP is a factor so please brush up on Iambic pentameter. I am going to have Craig Cornish help me judge so do your best. Remember premium contest only TEN WINNERS ONLY sorry but inevitably some excellent poems get left out, I wish there was a premium contest with 15 winners it would be easier to judge.
