    So... I have been trying to write formed poetry and obviously failing, haha, not really doing it well, and I thought that if someone challenged me, I may come up with something and...didn't want to PM everyone, just thought here would be the right place to ask for a challenge from someone, and Mods please if my thread is annoying in any way, please feel completely free to delet it!

    I have tried Acrostics and wrote a Terza Rima poem but I'm actually seeking for more as I don't feel satisfied about them, yet. I would appreciate it SO much if you just post here and ...I know that I can go to some website and read a form then try it, I did that and it didn't work out. I want someone to challenge me, sadly I couldn't have enough time to participate in Larrys & Hellons contest, so...

    Lol. Writing formed poetry cures my writer's block. I've discovered a fondness for Diamante recently again. Wrote those to improve and broaden my vocabulary. You should try that :)

    Thanks, Xanthe! Appreciated.

    Noura, the first formed poetry i tried, besides a haiku those are easy, was an octtava rima....i loved it!....kind of gets you out of your free verse style and you have to rhyme and also count syllables..which is challenging and will take time to come out with something good.....

    My poem i wrote was called In His Shoes..check the style out :)

    The formed poem I did that I was most proud of was the Licentia Rhyme form. You should try that one if you're in for a challenge!

    Formed poetry could one day be the death of me.

    Personally I think it'd be more of a challenge for you to write shorter poetry, I know most of your poems generally have a bit of length to them and I liked the acrostic and Terza Rima I read of yours so why not try the Sedoka.
