Hello Dear Writers,

Hope you all are doing well and staying safe. We had been thinking for quite some time to come up with a new prompts challenge but then there was a EUREKA moment! Why not try something new? How about get a list of a few very uncommon poetic forms from various regions and request the amazing Medium writers to create anything out of them?

So this time around the poetic form is fixed but the theme stays universal. Doesn’t that sound good? We are sure you’ll all come up with some exceptional poetic pieces.

There’s no specific rule, except the ones below:-

Mandatory tags:- Literary Impulse, poetry.
Mandatory:- Do mention the poetic form you’re using anywhere in your piece.
Mandatory:- Please do drop a link to this post at the end so that anyone else can read and submit, if interested.
Non-mandatory:- Please do tag any three or more of your favourite writer friends on Medium so as to keep the challenge moving forward.

And yes, we would be publishing the piece as soon as we see it, there’s no waiting time here. The only condition being it is properly formatted as per Medium’s guidelines.
