Contest Description
What to Submit?
1 original, poem in the Pleiades form, starting with letter H
Remember, a Pleiades has a ONE word title followed by 7 lines of 6 syllables each. In this contest the title word will start with the letter H. Each of the following lines must also start with the letter H. The lines must describe the title in some way.
RULES:
1. Do not use personal names for a title.
2. Do not use a hypenated word for a title.
3. No profanity or vulgar content.
4. Use howmanysyllables.com to check your syllable counts.
5. Do use creativity and make your lines flow.
Please check and double check your syllable counts, as I won't be issuing any warnings.
There will be multiple placements but I am going to try to limit to 20 placements.
So give me an "H" and remember this is all for fun!
You can look at my Pleiades "Geisha" or "Hamster" to see an example.
