This area is designated for those of you who would like to try the Form challenge for the week (or a previous week if you’d like), but are not sure whether or not you did the form correctly. Simply submit your entire poem here (no link is necessary, these are works in progress) and we, the challengers and administrators collectively, will give you guidance on the form, or, if you’ve done it perfectly, we’ll say so! This will hopefully give you a risk-free forum to obtain advice on your poem for the Form Over Substance challenge before you post it and submit it in the challenge thread.

Title: The Muses and Me
URL: http://www.thestarlitecafe.com/poems/75/poem_8233367372.html
The form is Terza Rima. One of the things I would like to know is if I used the following words in the correct context: deigns and trancendental, are they used correctly in the poem. Please check the rest of the poem for any other mistakes.
Thank you,
DianaSR

I'm Pedro, a neophyte: very, very green but eager to learn. I'm not lying but simply laing LOL. Please help wit this lai.
==============================
Unrequited
Come sit with me, please
and look at the trees
beyond,
The color of leaves
just like your kisses
are fond,
Oh lovely mistress
with golden tresses
respond.
On my bended knees
offer you my pleas
must I?
With your long silence
comes painful unease
it¡¯s wry,
So with passing breeze
I¡¯ll blow you a kiss
goodbye.

Pedro -
Thank you for your interest in the lai. Your syllabic count is impeccable, but the rhyme you use is very loosely constructed. Tighten up the rhyme scheme and you'll have a perfect lai! |

I'm sorry Michael but I posted this in the wrong forum, so forgive my repetition. I want to know if this write qualifies as free verse. It does have a metrical cadence, but being a musician I find it difficult NOT to write in that manner. AFRAID OF THE LIGHT http://www.thestarlitecafe.com/poems/82/poem_616308.html

I have never tried metered form befoe so bare with me.
He was stern
To clash , yet, you could learn
It was e nough if you could see him
Standing there in his jac ket, strong, as light grew dim
I see him, in the mid dle of the past, it‘s grim
Like a reed he’d hand le, bend with fate
The gauge of a man’s slate
awry fate

This was beautiful, Elizabeth!
If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.
