Contest Description
What to Submit?
Write a Dodoitsu on any theme, any subject.
Usually a dodoitsu is based on love or comical theme, but you may choose any theme.
And they usually have a twist at the end but I will not be looking at that, I will be judging based on syllable count, imagery and how your take makes me feel.
A dodoitsu is made of four lines of 7, 7, 7, 5 syllables respectively. It doesn’t require rhymes or metre.
Line 1- 7 syllables
Line 2- 7 syllables
Line 3- 7 syllables
Line 4- 5 syllables
Use www.howmanysyllables.com for your syllables.
I'm looking forward to see what you all come up with.
Goodluck
