What is it?

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.

Have fun making Terza Rima's Lol.

By the way.. I'm looking for Judges. ;D

I'm going to tell Fry to log out when hes done or at least tell me if he logged in. I don't to often realize things like that.

Dreary shadows close around me and mine
A hollow feeling embodies my soul
Perhaps one dark day a holy light shall shine

There we go, it's been a while since I wrote one of these so let me know if somethings wrong

None of my poems are regarded good 'cause:
sensationalists prevail in writings.
Opaqueness enclosing... ah crap, this won't win.

sen-sa-tion-al-ists, too much thought goes into syllables. >.>

I guess my awful life is now finished
I care no more about living this lie
Tomorrow my life will be diminished

Depressing (revised,revised)
To often she vists me in the night
I know shes coming but remain suprised
I then get filled with feelings of fear and fright
I feel as if I've commited a great crime

hey look at how depressing my life is
I think I should take an anti-depressant
but depression is a side-effect. fizz

Opaqueness enclosing... ah crap, this has lost.

Like a hole in your heart that sucks life away,
depression will give you nothing to live for,
no sunshine or play 'till life fades away.

Are we allowed to make more than one stanza?

It's not Ernie. It's Armpit. I might have to stalk him on his profile to remind him.... Might.
