FOS
Weekly Form-Ottava Rima

Advertisment
This challenge has been closed.

Winner is moon spirit

Winning Poem


Your Host: Bronze Dragon

Click Here To Enter FOS

WELCOME TO FOS – CLICK BANNER FOR FORM EXAMPLE

For this challenge, write a poem using the form presented and your fellow Starlite poets will vote for the one they like the best! The form is:

Ottava Rima-


An ottava rima is a stanza (called an octive) written in eight (8) lines with the rhyme pattern of -

abababcc

Each octive (you can have more than one, there is no set number) has an independent rhyme pattern (meaning 2nd verse would be “dededeff”, etc.)

A true, traditional ottava rima is also written in – gasp! – iambic pentameter. However, the kind and gentle draconic instructor will not reduce your marks so long as you write in 10 syllable lines. Deal?

Please click the banner above for an example of the form.

Simply write a poem using the form above. The winner of the FOS Weekly Form challenge is decided by all Starliters. The Host - Bronze Dragon - presents a new form each week. Challenge ends on the date and at the time above (top left corner) or upon reaching 15 poems entered.


FOS is a voting challenge - please return at the end of the challenge to vote for the poem using the form that you liked best. Any entries not following the form given may be removed by the Host prior to voting.

Thanks, and Have Fun!
