HELP!!!
I'm going to enter a Poetry contest, and I can't choose which poem to submit. Please go here and leave me a comment saying which one(s) you like best. The only rule is that it must be "composed in the traditional modes of meter, rhyme and received forms for consideration in the competition." I think that just means it can't be free-formed. The only one I wouldn't want to submit is Rime Revisited, but any others that are "traditional" I wouldn't mind submitting. PLEASE DO THIS FOR ME!!! I understand not everyone has the x amount of time to read them all, but even if you just read a few and choose one you like...
