Just a reminder - Poeta Atlantiae is sponsoring a poetry challenge (not contest) at Highland River Melees on Saturday.  It's really not too late to write one.  

The form is englyn milwr, the Welsh "soldier's rhyme:"  

Three lines.
Seven syllables per line.
All three lines rhyme.

That's it. You can string several of these together to make a longer poem, but you don't have to.

An example is used on one of Atlantia's more humorous scroll texts:

You haven't been a-slackin'
Our foes you've been a-whackin'
For this you get a Kraken

All who enter will receive a token (until I run out).

In service,
 - Teleri the Well-Prepared, Poeta Atlantiae
