Contest Description
come and let the letter R inspire you, and then let your muse fly wherever it will take you...choose ONE of the themes and write a new, original poem about it: 1) RHYTHMN OF A RIVER, or 2) RIPPED RECOLLECTIONS, or 3)ROOM FOR RENT
the type of poetry to be used is the RICTAMETER...it is a nine-line poem where each line has a specific number of syllables... the first line has two syllables... the next line has four, and so on, like so:
2,4,6,8,10,8,6,4,2...
THE FIRST AND LAST LINES HAVE THE SAME WORD... my own draft ; just an example:
Lamp post,
kindling night... inked,
captures shades of the park
depicting warmth among couples .
How restrained whispers etch their fondled arms
while misty breaths glow in rapture.
Moon casts destiny's spell
glimmering through
lamp post.
IMPORTANT REMINDERS: *center your poem,* include sponsor's name, contest title,* and date of entry to qualify in the contest...please comply with these simple rules.
chosen theme is your poem's title... avoid AI; we will check
review syl count, grammar, typo, poem's title, others...
~ only quality works with poetic mood, substance and creative imagery will be seriously evaluated.

enjoy the ride!
