Dizain.... NEW only accepted in this contest, one .... or more stanza's connected by theme_***your title and poem should make sense***
Definition
A dizain is a type of poem that follows a prescribed format of syllables per line while adhering to a certain rhyme scheme.
To write a dizain follow these guidelines. A dizain should be comprised of a 10-line stanza which includes 8-10 syllables in every line and is written in accordance with this rhyme scheme: ababbccdcd. True rhyming is best but I will accept near rhymes, but the poem must rhyme on some level.

*Please do not break up the stanza into 2 parts... as it is a 10 line stanza.

A Note - If possible could you NOT use the poem you write for me in this contest in another ongoing contest until this one is judged. Thank you.
