The challenge is to write a form poem - any form but no free verse - taking one of the planets as you inspiration. I think it should be left open for anyone to participate. Perhaps Laurel can be coerced to pick the final seven to be posted under The Poets banner - one poet for each planet.

The date for submission in this thread is Tuesday, November 1st


Participants to be added as necessary.


Mars - the bringer of war. - Lauren Hynde

Venus - the bringer of peace. - Tristesse

Mercury - the winged messenger. - cymry, WickedEve

Jupiter - the bringer of jollity. - maria2394, champagne1982

Saturn - the bringer of old age. - jthserra

Uranus - the magician. - flyguy69

Neptune - the mystic. liar, bluerains

If I can squeeze this in I'd like a shot at either Saturn or Neptune.

The nice part of choosing Uranus is that I can write a really shitty poem.

The 22nd of course! More Scorpion than archer, but with the artwork here in mind, somehow, I'd rather be a target :eek:

Here is another...

in villanelle form. I'm not really good at this...be patient with me.

Mercury the winged messenger

Mercurial complexity within the sky.
Fleet footed ambassador God,
delivering inspiration from on High.

Mercury swift of thought, ever sly,
embodiment of dexterity and skill,
Mercurial complexity within the sky.

Provider of Pandora’s persuasive sigh,
guide for the souls of the dead,
delivering inspiration from on High.

God immortal of the merchant’s ply,
offspring of Zeus, father of Pan,
Mercurial complexity within the sky.

Promiscuous lover forever spry,
consummate thief of Apollo’s herd,
delivering inspiration from on High.

Precocious spirit, irreverent and wry,
Boasting of liaisons with Aphrodite,
Mercurial complexity within the sky.
Delivering inspiration from on High.

LOL! As a matter of fact, yes! It was on a home-building mission trip to a very poor community.

So I may not know much, but I know shit!

Don't be afraid to stretch your own limits. That's the only way to grow. Come on, don't be a party-pooper. ;)
 
instant and perfect form poetry skills bestowed upon me.

:D

not much really.

oh, and the urge to write to constricting forms. :p

What you need is a perspective shift. Forms aren't constricting - they're liberating. ;)

Yeah, that's what WSO needs. Less constriction. More liberation.

The only thing that comes to mind right off is haiku and similar Japanese poetry forms. But I'm sure there must be others.

For that matter, I've read and heard several times that a sonnet is really just a poem of 14 lines at its heart. How those lines are composed and assembled vary according to country and era, but I'm not sure that rhyming has to be involved in all of them.

There are plenty. She's just too afraid to go look and end up liking them. :D

That's sort of correct. The only two important (defining) things in a sonnet are the 14 lines and the narrative structure. Rhyme isn't that big a deal.

For example, here is a poem I once wrote that has no rhyme whatsoever.
