A new poem, on any theme you want.
I had such success on my last contest that I have decided to hold another “Monchielle Stanza" contest.
Only a new “Monchielle Stanza" poem is acceptable...

In my last contest, many good poems, unfortunately, had to be disqualified!"
A Monchielle Stanza,
is comprised of four (verses) of 6 syllable lines, with the rhyme pattern of xxAxA - xxBxB - xxCxC - xxDxD, the first line in stanza one is repeated in each stanza as line one.
