Introducing Duodecliner Poetry
Poetry Contest
The Duodec-liner poem (duodec = prefix meaning ?twelve-?) is a twelve-liner.
As in the Etheree poem, the first line is a one-syllable word, the second line has two syllables, the third has three, and so forth, concluding with a twelve-syllable line.
Unlike the Etheree, the Duodecliner must express an opinion or pose a question, and include at least six lines that end in a rhyme. The last two lines comment on the opinion, or answer the question.
Other Requirements:
Only one illustration (optional), above the poem,
Select colors and fonts only from FS editors (basic, advanced)
Use one color each for background and font.
No animation, music or other special effects.
The contest winner will win half of the prize pool which is based on the number of entries. The second and third place winners will each share the remaining prize pool. The prize pool is currently 35.00 member dollars. There are 11 spots still open. If all open spots are used the prize pool will be 90.00 member dollars. In this contest at least 5 submissions must be made for the vote to begin.
Deadline: Contest is closed. Deadline was Tuesday, May 9, 2017.
