Objective
Write a fourteen lines (14 lines), iambic pentameter poem that rhymes (abab cdcd efef gg)! It must follow the theme of summer nights. For example, the starry skies, the fireflies, be creative! Just be original and get yourself notice for a chance to win! It's really simple right? XD Requirements/Guideline I'm not so strict with the requirements. Consider it more like a guideline~
The second meter is always an iamb An addiction of a final unstress syllable is alright

That thread banner is GORGEOUS! <3
And yeah, I'm not very good with literature. xD Good luck to all the participants. <3 |
Yes, good luck to everyone who enters. ^^
Sasa is more than likely asleep right now, so if anyone has any questions, feel free to ask me since I am sort of being a voluntary stand-in for her until she is able to get online. :3 That way, nothing will overwhelm her or anything when she comes in. >w< .::Note to Sasa::. I'm writing down entries and their locations for you until you get here, that way you won't have to read through every page if you don't want to. >.>; Kiami posted an entry on Page 2 |
If I get started on this now, maybe I can finish a sonnet by the time the event finishes.
We'll see - Poetry is tough work. |
Yes. Poetry can be quite difficult. :<
|
So, slant rhyme is ok?
|
...Slant rhyme?
:sweat: Excuse me if the answer is obvious. >.>' I haven't slept in a while. '<.< |
Well, some of my teachers would allow slant rhyme and others wouldn't in our poetry
|
omg! I haven't written a sonnet since I was in a Shakespeare class in High School! I just might write one for fun! <333
|
Hmm I don't understand poetry but i will try! xD |
I remember working on sonnets my sophmore year in high school. Man, those were hard xD
I'll still give it a try though. |
I have no talent in poet whatsoever.. xD;;
good luck, sasa. XD |
I am not a poet at all ^^;
I might enter though if i somehow get inspired. |
Really? No one here knows anything about sonnets?
Now I feel weird for being like.. the only one that took a Shakespeare class... I had to write sonnets... |
I wrote them all the time
xD They were all bad xP I did much better when I could mix up the rhyme scheme a bit |
It's bad, but I'll try!
A wing! a wing! My sonnet for Anklewings! Username: Kiami Title: The Night's Ballet Sonnet: The Heavens are alight tonight, my dear, For those sparkling lights do so confess The true nature of the darkened summer Night before the audience of our romance. The grasshoppers do sing their part, The lightning bugs do light the night, And yet no art of theirs could start my heart Or have it beat so hard like this tonight. The Heavens are no longer in the sky, But here with us, only for us to find. The falling stars ignite my heart to fly, They land in his eyes and reflect in mine. The Moon takes its claim over its domain. And the night’s ballet is reborn again |
I had a good one A LONG LONG WHILE AGO when I first started Quizilla or so. It was about a demon boy and a little girl. I lost it though - so I don't remember what it was all about. xD |
