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~
  • Must have 14 lines rhyming in from of (abab cdcd efef gg)
  • All lines must be in iambic pentameter
  • Each meter should consist of an unaccented syllable and an accented syllable
The first meter could be an inversion (the stress syllable follow by the unstress)
The second meter is always an iamb
An addiction of a final unstress syllable is alright
  • Must be in three quatrains with four lines each (abab is one quatrain) and a couplet in the end
  • Must be within the theme
