This is a new form for me. I submitted for the Form Over Substance Challenge at the Starlite Cafe. It is called The Round. Last word of line matches first word of next line. Rhyme scheme: aa bb cc dd.

Poem Artwork



Soft the spotlight spills; she leaps to her toes
toes some times fitted in pink satin bows,
bows and arrows, Eros craftily aims
aims for his heart, hers is in flames,
flames leaping – pas de deux, she is dreaming…
dreaming him, wishing him, silently screaming,
screaming! His name… a fleeting spark in time
time… and verses lost to similar rhyme.

Carmen Ruggero©2005

Another winner --?!!! You are a true champion, m'lady. As for the idea of losing you, "miss" is far too weak. Can't bear the thought, so take extra, extra good care of yourself. Writing hard, I know. . .and that is great. Just. . .take care! Love you, 'Pea' xox

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
