As I am very new to this form, I just had a question. Is it necessary that the first stanza be a statement of love and the next to be a response to that?

Hi @ForeverYoung299! For the purposes of this contest, yes - but you can interpret 'statement of love' very widely! For example, there was once a project done by a school where 'statement of love' was interpreted as 'something the world needs'.

Hey! I'm curious... are we allowed to play with the visual aspects of the poem (i. e. adding an image, fiddling with formatting, etc.)?
I was born to speak all mirth and no matter.

Hi @Plume! I'm going to say yes, so long as the form of the textual part is still a somonka!
