I would but have a full on cold and don’t think anyone needs to hear my bunged up voice! 😂 It will be lovely to put a voice to you and other forum users though 👏

I will return overdue reads (so sorry!) I promise but I just need to take a break from NYCM for a bit. I will be back! Big love.

I’m kinda worried that my rhyme scheme is too simple.
It starts with AA, then has 11 sets of AABB, and back to AA at the end. I’m not even gonna try to use the terms because I’d probably fail Each line has 14 or 15 syllables and flows well, easily read with a rhythm I think is obvious (and my readers have said the same). I’ve read that AABB can be cheesy, and I’ve done a ghost story, so I hope that isn’t the case! We shall see once I can post it :)

I don't think it's too simple, and the rhyming part is judged based on how satisfying it feels to the judges not how complex it is or whether it follows traditional structure. If keeping it simple helps you to focus on the narrative I think that's perfectly fine. Mine is very simple too, and sci-fi. But I focused on telling a story, developing a character and creating a satisfying plot twist. I'll look out for yours when the forum opens!

I'm on a bit of a Lin-Manuel Miranda kick recently so I did AAAABB CCCCBB DDDDEE FFFFEE, etc.
At least double rhymes in every line ;) I didn't go for a particularly intentional meter though

Oooh I'm keen to read this one! I bet you did not throw away your shot. ;) I had Hamilton on repeat last week - the best kind of rhyming research.

Ahh thanks!! That's kind of you :) I'm diving into my FF return reads first, but I can't wait to read yours <3 The title is BRILLIANT! I love double-entendre bilingual titles like that (speaking of LMM, the pun in this title gives me "The Family Madrigal"-cleverness vibes)

not sure what you call this but i used it for the rhyming story challenge. Anyone know what this is called?
Roughly, it is: iamb iamb iamb A iamb iamb iamb A iamb B iamb B iamb iamb iamb iamb C iamb iamb iamb D iamb iamb iamb D iamb E iamb E iamb iamb iamb iamb C
