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.
I don't think that deadline extension really helped. Maybe extend it a bit more?
I won't take no for an answer! Here's my entry.
Soft sounds from a nearby babbling brook, And the sweet smell of fresh, newly bloomed roses Covered in brown leaves from a tree that shook, And the fluttering wings of an insect, Flying gracefully among the hummingbirds, Make a day like this even more perfect.
Yeah that would be great if you could extend it just a little more???
[i]I feel the wind rush past my face. I turn. There, in the middle of a peaceful meadow, there lies an old, dying oak tree. It's years of youth and tranquility are long gone. Now, as it provides shelter for many critters, there comes one small seed that falls right next to the oak tree. From that one seed, comes a young, strong tree. This is the true, real cycle of nature.
Uhm, 201, I don't think that follows any of the guidelines to be considered a terza rima. Take a look at the first page and you'll notice there are specific rules.
