Terza Rima is a type of poetry consisting of 10 or 11 syllable lines arranged in three-line.
Example:
Ode to the West Wind by Percy Bysshe Shelley
O wild West Wind, thou breath of Autumn's being, Thou, from whose unseen presence the leaves dead Are driven, like ghosts from an enchanter fleeing
So here are the rules:
~Terza Rima's must be completely Original which means no Plagiarizing. ~There can only be 1 submission per user ~The same user is not able to win twice in a row ~Even if the same user who won can't win.. doesn't mean they can't enter ~Must be submitted before the actual deadline for the contest ~It has to fit the theme
This will always last 1 week.
The deadline is February 27th and most Contests will start on the weekend.
This weeks Theme is The Desert and I am still in the process of asking for a merit to the winners.
You live one day and die the next. Every day that goes one is just another. Why not go and share with each other? The joy in your life the joy in mine. Lets go sit near the trees that smell like pine. Through think and thin we will always depend on each other.
Alright that's better. Your poem is not fit for judging xD
You live one day and die the next. [8] Every day that goes on is just another. [12] Why not go and share with each other? [9] The joy in your life the joy in mine. [10] Lets go sit near the trees that smell like pine. [10] Through think and thin we will always depend on each other. [14]
Okay you have 2 stanzas.. But they aren't correct. Your first, second, third, and sixth needs 10 or 11 syllables. Your lines are not rhymed correctly. It's ABA BCB CDC etc.
It has to end in a couplet and you did only 1 line
Does it? Taken from Wikipedia:
Terza rima is a three-line stanza using chain rhyme in the pattern A-B-A, B-C-B, C-D-C, D-E-D. There is no limit to the number of lines, but poems or sections of poems written in terza rima end with either a single line or couplet repeating the rhyme of the middle line of the final tercet. The two possible endings for the example above are d-e-d, e or d-e-d, e-e. There is no set rhythm for terza rima, but in English, iambic pentameter is generally preferred.
