This poetic challenge features one of my favorite forms included in the Poetry-Defined section of JPiC... The CinqTroisDecaLa Rhyme will challenge your poetic expertise and flexibility, while enticing your poetic juices to flow.
This challenge will be used as a test-run for the
Poetry-Defined website, as well as the Poetic Type Published section here on JPiC, and will culminate in a poll/vote of the favorite 2 pieces.
CHALLENGE DESCRIPTION:
Beneath is a beautiful photograph aptly entitled The Last One, which appears in the
Poetry of the Visual section of JPS. Cordially provided by photographer Ian Williamson, The Last One appears with a thumbnail version --- just to whet your appetite of course.
CHALLENGE GOAL:
I mock my self; shedding sorrow laughs of hindsight
Courage sees naught the unshed tear that threatens my inside
(My insight a faith wallowing in prepaid pain)
Yet joy cometh in the mourning
The above 4-line piece is what I wrote to be featured alongside Ian's photograph collection.
The theme of that piece is
"From Nothing To Something..." The challenge is to
write a CinqTroisDecaLa rhyme featuring similar theme. Not only must you use this motif, you must also use The Last One photo as inspiration/motivation AND you must also include three of the following words and/or phrases within your poem:
- strawberry fruit
- seed
- pink flesh
- sweet
- chocolate
Good luck! Have fun AND Happy Posting!
JPiC Moderating Team.
