    Poem Guidelines


    01. Correct grammar, spelling and capitalization is necessary in poems, to an extent.

    Any violations of grammatical rules must be for an artistic purpose, as opposed to sloppiness or use of chat-speak.

    02. Only original poems may be posted.

    Any user who has plagiarized another poet's poem will be banned. Posting song lyrics or famous poems is strictly forbidden.

    03. It is important that you select the correct language, type and rating when posting a poem.

    Information on poem types and ratings can be found here.

    04. The poetry section is, naturally, for poems.

    No prose (stories, scripts, articles, etc.) may be submitted as a poem. Submitting things that are not poems as poems will result in content deletion.

    05. Title rules must be followed.

    Titles must be properly capitalized. MY AWESOME POEM and my awesome poem would both be incorrect.All words in a title should be capitalized with these few exceptions: If not the first or last word of a title, DO NOT capitalize little words like an, the, in, for, of, and, to, a, but, as, if, or, nor, and prepositions shorter than four letters.

    06. Titles cannot have text decoration.

    ~#~#****My AwEsOmE pOeM****#~#~ is unacceptable.

    07. The author's note section is intended for authors to make relevant comments about the poem.

    Correct grammar and spelling is necessary as well.

    08. All poem layouts must be legible.

    09. Search tags must be relevant to the poem.

    Irrelevant search tags will be deleted.

    10. Poems must use appropriate formatting.

    Depending on the type of poem, the paragraphs must be formatted accordingly.

    11. If you have any questions, feel free to contact one of Mibba's story or poem editors or admins.

    Poem Types and Ratings


    One of the most common mistakes seen in the poem section is the mislabeling of poem types and ratings. To help prevent the unintentional mislabeling of poems, this article with thoroughly explain each poem type and rating, as well as certain acceptable exceptions. If you have any questions about poetry types and ratings, please contact a story or poem editor.

    Poem Types

    Acrostic
    An acrostic poem is a series of lines or verses where the first, last or other particular letters, when taken in order, spell out a word, phrase, etc. It is not a regular free-verse poem. However, the poem title does not have to be what the actual poem spells. For example, Bittersweet is an acceptable acrostic poem.

    Ballad
    This poem is usually a song that tells a story, but with more structure than a narrative. It sometimes consists of repeated lines or a refrain. The intent of a song should be considered when composing a ballad. Basically, it’s a song that tells a story.

    Elegy
    An elegy is a poem that’s a sad song usually played at a funeral regarding someone's death as a memorial. Like the ballad, it doesn’t have to be in song form. An elegy doesn’t have to be a song at all, but it must be mournful and usually regards the dead.

    Epic
    An epic poem is a very long poem that consists of supernatural elements such as gods and goddesses, upper and lower worlds (heaven and hell, etc.), a hero, and a villain. However, it could be acceptable if your epic does not include multiple supernatural elements, but it should always be lengthy and include a protagonist and an antagonist and/or a quest for something or someone. Epics normally rhyme, but rhyming is not a necessity. An epic is not an "awesome" poem, or any slang meaning of the word "epic."

    Free-verse
    Free-verse poems have no structure, no expected rhyme, or any patterns at all. If your poem has no specific amount of lines per stanza, random or no rhyme, then it’s a free-verse. If your poem does have structure or rhyme, there may be a more suitable category.

    Haiku
    A haiku poem is a three line, one stanza poem where the first and last lines consist of five syllables and the second line consists of seven. Haiku poems are usually about nature. However, with Haikus the rules are slightly flexible. It is acceptable to have multiple haikus in one haiku poem. It is also acceptable to slightly change the syllable count (so long as the middle line is longer than the other two). But, it’s not acceptable to have a haiku with more than three lines per stanza, because that defeats the purpose of a haiku: brevity. If your poem has more than three lines, doesn’t follow the stanza rule, and has multiple haikus in it, type it as something else.

    Limerick
    A limerick is normally a five line, humorous or witty poem with a anapaest or amphibrach meter that has a strict rhyme scheme (AABBA).The meter is sometimes disregarded in a limerick, however, poem editors wouldn’t find it acceptable if the limerick wasn’t humorous.

    Lyrics
    Lyrics are a poem that is written in the form of a song (consisting of verses, chorus, bridges and/or hooks) with the intent of the lyrics being sung or rapped. But the poem doesn’t have to have subtitles (chorus, verse, etc.) so long as it’s truly meant to be a song. It could also be a poem based on emotional feelings alone.

    Narrative
    A narrative poem is a poem that intends on telling a story. But, although it’s supposed to tell a story, that does not mean it should be written in story form with paragraphs. It’s good to be creative, but if the poem does not consist of lines and/or stanzas, then post it as a drabble in the story section, not a poem.

    Ode
    An ode is a poem of praise (usually a person) of someone or something that the writer admires. Odes are pretty flexible, as long as they favor a dedication or praise of some type.

    Rhyme
    A rhyme is basically a poem that has a patterned or irregular rhyme scheme. Structure of the poem shouldn’t matter. This is one of the easiest to categorize. Basically, if it follows none of the other poem types, but rhymes, then it’s a rhyme. A good example of a rhyme would be the poem Ninety Nine Babies. The poem has structure and it rhymes; therefore, it’s a rhyme.

    Sonnet
    This poem is a fourteen line poem, where each line consists of ten syllables, that follows a rhyme scheme of abab-cdcd-efef-gg. However, the rules for this can be slightly flexible, with twelve lines instead of fourteen and varying syllable and rhyme schemes. You can find more information on Sonnets here.

    Verse
    A verse poem is one that has a very structured amount of syllables per line, and lines per stanza. Basically it’s a neat and structured looking poem. No rhyme scheme or syllable count is necessary. Memories is a good example of a verse poem. Each stanza has four lines and each line has four to ten (mostly seven) syllables.
