I was just asking if we were allowed to lines that rhyme because I find it easier to rhyme than not. The challenge this month (as best I can tell, so I might be wrong) was to write a 14 line poem, each with 10 syllables. The first eight were to be the 'complaint' (remember, the title of the challenge is "The Winds of Change") then four lines of change (I think that's the volta bit, but I'm probably wrong) then two lines of conclusion (a summary couplet) I'm told, by those who know, that Charmz poem fits the challenge criteria beautifully, so I'd look at her entry above for enlightenment if I were you. I'm pretty sure our moderator Crescent posted a plea for people to stop apologising every time they posted a while back. Just enjoy yourself, and let others enjoy reading what you post. Shanna :-)
