Katya the Poet  Is the judge for this round. She would post but she is very sick right now. If she isn't up to judging either Sophurky  or myself will judge her round. Here is her prompt:Let's get ready to .......... Rubliw! Please read the instructions carefully - just because this is AWFUL poetry doesn't mean there are not rules! (Rules stolen from SophY & altered!) To qualify for this round, please hit "REPLY" to this post, and submit a rubliw, according to the instructions and samples below. You must post your entry by midnight WDC time tonight, when Pita will post the next prompt. That is, you have 12 instead of 24 hours to write these next two prompts. Because I am math- and linear-time challenged, I have no idea what day or night this will be, in the USA, Australia, or anywhere else. BUT I AM SURE YOU WILL ALL FIGURE THIS OUT. Make sure the entire text of your poem appears in your post. If you want to have your rubliwness reviewed, create a static item and then include a bitem link within the post of your poem. (This is not a requirement.) The winner will make me pee my pants while my eyes roll around in my head backwards. As opposed to rolling around in my head forwards. Good luck! And feel free to ask questions or make comments over in
Rubliw (“Wilbur” backwards, a silly verse form created by Richard Wilbur!) Write a rubliw addressed to one of the judges, to a figure prominent in your particular holiday this holiday season (Santa, Black Pete, Will Ferrell, Clarence the Angel, etc.), to the ancient Mayans (who are responsible for ending the world later this month), or to someone of your own choosing to whom it might be perfect to complain or exude (bodily fluids) joyously about something awful coming this way!! A rubliw is a short poem of direct address, or a letter poem with: --9 lines --monorhyme (1 rhyme throughout) --iambic meter that expands and contracts: Line 1 is monometer (1 beat*, 2 syllables), Line 2 is dimeter (2 beats, 4 syllables), Line 3 is trimeter (3 beats, 6 syllables), Line 4 is tetrameter (4 beats, 8 syllables), Line 5 is pentameter (5 beats, 10 syllables); and then it reverses: Line 6 is tetrameter again (4 beats, 8 syllables), Line 7 is trimeter (3 beats, 6 syllables), Line 8 is dimeter (2 beats, 4 syllables), and Line 9 is monometer (1 beat, 2 syllables). *A “beat” is the unit of rhythm in the meter, determined by the accented syllable Discussion & definition in our own WDC Poetry Newsletter of 12/5/12, edited by Red Riding Hood Red Writing Hood <3   , #5398 in the Newsletter ArchivesDefinition and samples: http://www.poetrymagnumopus.com/index.php?showtopic=1962 Katya’s Sample Toot Sweet! Dear Pit a, on your feet again, I see. You’re sweet to want to slam with us, to meet up in the awful, former way, to bleat or blast a turdish versey treat to greet your old mosquit o-brained effete! Tout suite. |
