HEAR YE! HEAR YE!

By your entry, help define and judge a new category/form of poetry to be henceforth called "Chinese Take-out." For the only known example of this poetic form please review "Legend's Brilliant Glow" [http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/ufoauthor/1023623/] and all associated reviews and commentary.

RULES:
1.) Each entry must be accompanied with a description and definition of the essential elements of "Chinese Take-out" poetry. Entries may be the work of single or multiple authors.
2.) Each entrant will be permitted to vote for the winner.
3.) Entrants may vote for themselves or someone else that has submitted an entry in the currently active contest (if the system permits this).
4.) The originator of a "Chinese Take-out" contest must abstain from entry and must announce a winner (or lack thereof) within 24 hours of the contest deadline.
5.) Changes to rules, if necessary (to preserve sanity or decorum) will be proposed and enacted by simple majority vote of previous contest winners (or those that may care enough to virtually travel and participate in such congress).
6.) In the event there are no winners (or participants) the contest shall be declared Null-&-Void with all associated literary output recycled at the next full moon by shredding and casting into the great Sea of Words.
7.) The winning entry shall henceforth become the current standard exemplar and definition of the Chinese Take-out poetic form.
8.) The winning author(s) shall be permitted to claim title, rank and nobility in the Nobel Court of the Chinese Take-out Poetic Form in perpetuity (or until exiled by common majority vote of the Nobel Court of the CToPF).
