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'm a bit disappointed at the structure that you've set, because the meter is not essential to terza rima. Terza rima is a rhyming structure in its essence, not a metrical form.

I even researched it a lot. Every single one said A type of poetry consisting of 10- or 11-syllable lines arranged in three-line tercets with the rhyme scheme aba bcb cdc, etc.
So don't blame me if I went to like 12 sites and still the same answer.
In the desert the criminals can go fast As the straight desert miles stretch on forever Luckily the cop cars are Lamborghinis
I love how this one made me laugh once I read the end, it put an awesome finishing touch to it, it might of not beaten moat's poem, but it was a very close decision.
Sweet! I like this better than haikus. This theme is hard
A rich family dies, a rich kid survives A poor family survives, a poor kid dies The kids must survive, to continue the chain
