A nonet has nine lines. The first line has nine syllables, the second line eight syllables, the third line
seven syllables, etc... until line nine that finishes withone syllable. Rhyming is optional.


Here are the rules:
1)Your poems must be original. (No plagarizing)!
2)Your poem must be made specially for this thread. (No taking your old work!)
3)Your poem must fit the weeks theme.
4)Your poem must be submitted by the deadline.
5)You may only submit one poem.
6)Sorry you can't win two weeks in a row. (but you can still submit!)

If this thread gets popular, then maybe the winner could get a merit.
The deadline will usually be on friday, which in tis case is April 6th

This weeks winner, will have the opportunity to be a judge. If they do not want to, then I will ask second place, and ect.

Start posting your poetry!

Aw man! I had a poem for the zombie theme. Too bad. Anyway, here goes nothing!

This rhythm written in all our blood.
This beat moving us in a glance
Inspiration makes us dance.
The music fills the void.
It heats our cold hearts.
The sound of an
Angel. The
music.
Dance.

Captain usually takes forever to judge. Wouldn't be surprised if he forgot about it.

So evidently I've been put in charge of this contest now, unless it was some different StrategicCaptain that I talked with. Oo
ANYWAY.
Judging will be up shortly, since there really weren't that many submissions.

This one was a good entry, but I felt the lines were broken in the wrong places. However, I did enjoy the metaphor and figurative language.


First Place Winner: Quirinus

Talking people, racing cars, street noise.
No sound better than city voice!
Dirt, stone, ash and smelly smoke.
Sexy ladies and blokes.
The clamor! The din!
I love that kin,
of music.
Urban.
Moar



I liked the idea that the city noise is music to your ears. It's unique, which is why it won. The only problem was that the lines seemed to be a bit random. Especially the last one. XD
Either way, it really was a great entry.

Tomorrow I'll post the new theme and the schedule for entering and judging.
Congratulations to the two that entered. XD

I was going to post it but it seemed evident that no one is really interested anymore.
If more people ask about it then I might restart it, but for now its just you.

Just give a theme and a deadline, and people will surely submit. This thread was just forgotten, but it was never out of interest...
