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.
Woah, the 1st and 3rd are rhyming stanzas? I did not catch that!
Errr....
Trenches deep, clouds choked black, and mortars shot cries, Death will skim the boundaries for his next soul. History; written by those that do not die.
Shall I compare thee to a bloody day When all the rivers run their courses dry: The time when darkest forces hold their sway Upon the earth. Men wish that they would die A quick and painless death when retribution Passes with a scream by their very eye. Truly, for the wicked no restitution Shall be found in that very last of days Come upon us -- The Age of Revolution.
