Description:

This will be an ongoing series if there is interest. Each swap I will post a different challenge pertaining to poetry. All poetry must be new poetry that you, yourself create. You don't have to be an expert, I'm certainly not, you just have to try your best. For this swap, the challenge is:

1 - You must use the rhyme scheme: AABB CCDD EEFF...so on and so forth. Example:

The cat on a mat - A

played with my hat - A

under the yellow sun - B

on a day of great fun - B

2 - Your poem must be at least 3 stanzas - 4 lines each stanza

3 - Your poem must contain personification (making a non-human thing have human traits).

Here is a poem that contains examples of personification:

"I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" by William Wordsworth

"I wandered lonely as a cloud

That floats on high o'er vales and hills,

When all at once I saw a crowd,

A host, of golden daffodils;

Beside the lake, beneath the trees,

Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine

And twinkle on the milky way,

They stretched in never-ending line

Along the margin of a bay:

Ten thousand saw I at a glance,

Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
