Come Find Me
Come find my heart’s hiding place
Please knock down its barriers
I cannot say what I feel
Days lost in habit.
A Bizzare Limerick
A peddling goose gave a cow his boot
To walk for miles using only one foot
A quest to find a purple shrub
Where grew a funny tiger cub
And rip him out from his fixed root.
Sevenling Horror
The woman was known as an incomparable beauty,
With gorgeous ebony hair cascading in temptuous waves
And a voice that was soft and melodious as a canary.
Yet she had spent her days feeling sad about the unfortunate,
Hiding her sadness by making others laugh
And refusing to burden others with her pain.
What a pity she committed suicide.
A Shakespearean Sonnet Of Farewell
Adieu sirrah, my time beckons now
Alas, for plans stuck in sweet memories
To thy noble brave heart, I take this bow
For thou has always brought life’s remedies.
Ay, thou art the perfect star of silver
Molding bitter minds to its greater heights
Besides the ever running deep river,
I sit beneath the moon to watch these sights.
Give me leave to hold thee in my frail arms
One kiss before I falter in my quest
Fall once more these forgettable charms
I’m drowning in waves of eternal rest.
I won’t forget thee in this lifetime shared
For our wild hearts have done all that we dared
Synopsis
First Edition 2021
The Form Runners & Inventors Challenge was conducted by Ink Gladiators Press and represented by Our Earthians Community Group on Instagram. Poetry forms were selected based on their originality, popularity and simplicity of rules. The Form Inventors were given the opportunity to handpick one or two of their own Form Runners to get published in this anthology. If you enjoy working on new poetry forms and connecting with their inventors, The Form Runners and Inventors Collection is tailor-made for you. It has been uniquely designed to act as a workbook as well.
