Note from the Moderator

I have decided to change the policy on voting for the form of the month as I never seem to have many votes. The month after a certain form is given, people will still be free to vote. The winning poem will be displayed two months after it was given and the poems from the previous month will be voted on. If anyone thinks this policy is a bad idea, let me know your objections, as I am still quite new to this.

Write-Ups
If you want to do an official write-up on any forms with a specified rhyme scheme, meter, and/or repetition, please note *poetic-forms. Suggestions on forms for others to write up are welcome.

The write-ups should contain a brief history of the form, perhaps an example, and a full description of the rhyme scheme, meter, common themes, etc. You will receive a next to your name for accepted form write-ups.

We could use some help here. If someone would like to do a write up for sonnets it would be especially appreciated.

Form of the Month
There will be no Form of the Month, this January, as the month is nearly over and I have no winner from the last contest.

If anyone would be so kind as to vote or cast his or her vote again, whatever the case may be, on last January's bref double submissions it would be very helpful.
