Best New Contest and Genre Award (Arts)

Poets from all walks of life, try this contest! Ovi Poems are simple, beautiful, and easy to create.

 

Ovi (ovee): an ancient Indian form of narrative poetry consisting of four-line stanzas with the first three lines rhyming and having eight syllables each. The fourth line does not rhyme and contains less than eight syllables.

 

Example:

Working in silence

Work in silence being a scribe
Means isolation avoiding the hype
Social media, and the vibe
- Just me and the screen

Words, sentences, and storylines
Poetry with or without rhymes
Hours of passion, in the mines
Of the lonely writer
