Style contest.

Okay, I will name off three of my favorite styles to read and write, and there will be five reserves for each style. I will name off fifteen titles, it doesn't matter what type of poem you write, I tried to think of some for each category, and some are old titles of mine. You may reserve, but I stress this - if you reserve..make sure you WRITE AND ENTER IT!

A Terzanelle is a 19 line poem consisting of five interlocking triplets plus a concluding quatrain in which the first and third lines of the triplet appear as refrains. The middle line of each triplet is a repetent reappearing as the last line of the succeeding triplet with the exception of the next-to-last stanza which appears in the quatrain.

A Villonnet is a hybrid of the Villanelle and the Sonnet. It has the Iambic Pentameter of both, but holds the four-stanza/line structure of the Sonnet, while utilizing the two-line rhyme nature of the Villanelle. The final stanza replaces the Sonnet couplet with a typical Villanelle tercet.

Italian Sonnet: Composed of an octave (rhyming ABBAABBA) and a sestet (rhyming CDECDE or CDCDCD) or, in some variant pattern, but with no closing couplet. Usually, there are 10 syllables per line, however, Italian Sonnets can also have 11 syllables per line. For an example of this go to… http://www.poems-and-quotes.com/sad/poems.php?id=754806 A French sonnet is practically the same thing but has a strict syllable count of 12. No more, no less.

Amazing titles. They're all so eye catching. Like eye candy. =]

I think I'll take... This is so hard! ... Are we allowed to do two?
Maybe in two different forms.... =D

If not, I GUESS I'll take 'Mockingbird'. If yes, I want 'The Child That Went With The Fairies'.

xTheEcstasyOfSuicidex

Lol, I'm going to see the reaction it gets first, I will post a deadline and eventually I will allow people to do more than one if that's what it gets down to. For now, I will reserve you mockingbird.

And what style are you going to be using?

-Jenna.

I lied. As I started to write about the 'Mockingbird' I wrote instead about a Hummingbird. =D

Reserve me 'The Child That Went With The Fairies' in Italian Sonnet, please. Sorry that I changed my mind, I hope it doesn't complicate things. Thank you, Jenna. And if there isn't a huge response (but we both know with such great titles there will be) I'll do Mockingbird.

Take Care.

xTheEcstasyOfSuicidex

Lol, okay, Reserved.

-Jenna.

I would like to reserve "Our Hearts Beat As One" in Terzanelle style, please =)
Thank you!

Our hearts beat as one
By Ilinca Milosan

Sweet nectar dripping slowly on thy lips,
Sparkles shining in thine eyes so sweetly
Shimmering at the touch of finger tips.

Petals shelter thine heart as red love drips -
Peacefulness set in thy mind and body,
Sparkles shining in thine eyes so sweetly.

Violins play a saintly melody
Angels and seraphs sing their graceful songs,
Peacefulness set in thy mind and body.

Thy warming chest is where my heart belongs
For my beat is yours and thy beat is mine
Angels and seraphs sing their graceful songs.

Our breathing and senses intertwine
Glistening bliss in our dark blue eyes,
For my beat is yours and thy beat is mine.

Embracing each other sheltered from lies -
Sweet nectar dripping slowly on thy lips
Glistening bliss in our dark blue eyes,
Shimmering at the touch of finger tips.

It's the first time I try this style so I apologise if sometimes the poems doesn't make sense or if there are any mistakes.
I hope you like it though! =)

I read your note at the bottom, and I'm sure that I will like it btu I don't read them until I judge them and I delete names so I'm not biased. (:

-Jenna.

Terzanelle's are amazing. I love writing them so much. I wrote the Hummingbird one in a Terzanelle, Jenna. =]

I'll have your poem hopefully by tomorrow...

xTheEcstasyOfSuicidex

I'd like to reserve "Maybe it's you" in the Terzanelle style.

~Joe~

Can I reserve Bullets Laced In Love - Italian Sonnet
I should be up until ungodly hours of the night tonight and get it done when everyone's sleeping. :).

Maybe It's You (Terzanelle)
by Italian Stallion

Maybe it's you
Or maybe it's me
But then again who knows...it's just a big mess

We never agree
What to do anymore
Or maybe it's me

I guess I just have to explore
For I just don't know
What to do anymore

I am no pro
We both know this
For I just don't know

If we can ever be in a heavenly bliss
Like old times, and
We both know this

But give it a chance
To prove it true,
Let's progress
In our romance

Isn't a Terzanelle supposed to have the same syllables in each line?

The Terzanelle is a poetry type which is a combination of the villanelle and the
terza rima forms. It is a 19-line poem consisting of five interlocking triplets/tercets
plus a concluding quatrain in which the first and third lines of the first triplet appear
as refrains. The middle line of each triplet is a repetend reappearing as the last line
of the succeeding triplet with the exception of the center line of the next-to-the-last
stanza which appears in the quatrain. The rhyme and refrain scheme for the triplets
is as follows:

1. A
2. B
3. A

4. b
5. C
6. B

7. c
8. D
9. C

10. d
11. E
12. D

13. e
14. F
15. E

Each line of the poem should be the same metrical length.

That's my defination of a Terzanelle.... From shadowpoetry.com...

Sorry if I'm being a prick, it's just how I write them... [Walks away embarrassed]

xTheEcstasyOfSuicidex

I don't know, this is my first time writting one, and from what is posted it says nothing about "Each line of the poem should be the same metrical length."

Here is what was posted in the first post, where she explained the rules and the styles....

And to what you said, "Isn't a Terzanelle supposed to have the same syllables in each line? "

As far as I know, no they don't have the same syllable count.

And, "Each line of the poem should be the same metrical length."

Metrical means the same length, and as far as I can see my lines are all the same length except 2.

I didn't know anything of a syllable count, so I will not judge on the syllable count.

-Jenna.

Huh. Alright then, I was just checking. Everything is varied in some way, and this is a varision to me. Just goes to show you learn something everyday.

xTheEcstasyOfSuicidex

The Dead We Leave Behind, as an Italian Sonnet, please.

Thanks
Jeannie

Alrighty, reserved (:

-Jenna.

okay. I've NEVER done any of these styles, but I'm going to TRY the Italian Sonnet. So please reserve me that style with the title Faded Lipgloss. Thank you!

Faded Lipgloss (Italian Sonnet)

I put on my face and walked out the door.
We are to meet at the cafe so soon,
Then later take a walk 'neath the pale moon.
And hopefully our love we can restore.
You're not here but I wait a little more.
I apply some lipgloss in dark maroon.
To pass the time, I hum a happy tune.
Still, you don't show, and the rain starts to pour.

So I take the walk meant just for us two,
Caressed by the shadows of faint moonlight.
Lonely I am, but this feeling's not new.
I reach for my purse, but I don't feel right.
Why should I put on what was all for you?
Faded lipgloss shows my lost inner fight.

Charisma*

Phew, had to really think about it, but in the end I feel it was a good first one. I know you don't read them until later, so have fun!

Thanks for getting it done, I will read it when I read the others. (:

-Jenna.

AHHH.
I didn't realize my poem wasn't posted!
Lol.
I've been waiting thinking 'Whens this going to be done' and I didn't even post my poem!
I do have it and have had it.. Wow.. I'm really sorry, Jenna.
I'll get this in later today... I have to go to school now...
Sorry, once again. =S

The Dead We Leave Behind [Italian Sonnet]
By: Twisted Heart

Inside our minds, we linger with our thoughts
Scattered there among the ruins of our souls
While we try to find a memory to hold
We search through all the pain our hearts have got.
We tarry with the dreams that time forgot
Lost upon the heart that has turned so cold
We wrestle there in pain from what unfolds
Wishing that we'd find parts of what we sought

If dreams were clearly written from the heart
Then surely we could search until we find
The pieces of our souls that fell apart
Or were they just held captive by the mind
Did we always know from the very start
Our souls would grieve the dead we leave behind.

*** Did not do the title justice, but tried.***

Lol, okay Dear, it's alright...happens to the best of us =] Lol. And thanks Jeannie for getting it in, as y ou know I do not read them yet..but I am sure that it is a great poem as always.

-Jenna.

I tried my best, but I just didn't like the ending. Nonetheless, here it is. Enjoy.
````````````````````````````````````````

The Child That Went With The Fairies {Italian Sonnet}

Deep within the forests of precious time,
A child sits, absorbed within his play,
Hugging dazzling fairies that will not stray.
Beautiful stories told, as trees they climb,
For the end will very soon come to the day.
Dancing around gladly their at their prime,
As child listens to their tales of rhyme,
While the fairie and child sit and play.

Clasping hands together, they dance in glee,
As sparkling stars shine in dashing skies,
Fairies of beauty shine with light of blue.
The boy soon will grasp his true destiny,
As precious angel like blue fairies sigh,
Their fate, his destiny certainly true.

xTheEcstasyOfSuicidex

Thanks for getting it done, I am sure I will enjoy all of them when I read them. (:

-Jenna.

You are most welcome dear. Sorry about the lasps of memory loss there. =S

xTheEcstasyOfSuicidex

just wondering when this deadline is? Thanks so much!
Charisma*

Haven't decided yet. I was hoping for more activity on this one, I'll give it a bit longer and then decide from there.
