DIMINISHED HEXAVERSE


A poem containing stanzas of 5 lines, then 4 lines, then 3 lines, then 2 lines, ending with one word. The syllables in each stanza correspond to the number of lines, i.e. 5 in each line in the first stanza, 4 in the second stanza and so on. Make your poem five stanzas long. Please follow directions carefully to avoid having your submitted poem disqualified.


Example:

IF I HAD POWER

If I had power
To change the whole world,
Utter magic words
And make all things right,
Say, �Let there be peace,�

I would do it
In a heartbeat,
But who am I
To change the world?

Just a man
With a dream�
Powerless.

I pray
God grants

Peace.

"Forms"!


Ok poets, what are you waiting for. Wake up your muses, sharpen
your pencils, or log on to the computer, whatever is your poison lol
and write, write, write. Sal is waiting to be innundated with entries,
aren't you Sal!! ??
