Even the Odds
Poetry Contest
Former FanStory member, Y.M. Roger, originally created this form.
It requires a syllable count of 2-4-6-8-10-9-7-5-3-1. The first line is two syllables; the second line is four syllables, and so on until the last line is one syllable.
The first line and last line MUST be SYNONYMS.
There is no rhyme requirement, although it isn't discouraged. You are encouraged to center your poem, but it isn?t required.
The contest winner will win half of the prize pool which is based on the number of entries. The second and third place winners will each share the remaining prize pool. The prize pool is currently 85.00 member dollars. There are only 1 spots still open. If all open spots are used the prize pool will be 90.00 member dollars. In this contest at least 2 submissions must be made for the vote to begin.
Deadline: Contest is closed. Deadline was Saturday, February 25, 2023.
