Contest Description

 What to Submit?

An Alexandrine format guised in a short story form appearing like a Free Verse and not as a Rhyme. The format will consist of lines that contain words amounting to 12-syllables, and of that focused line, the emphasis on the sound similarity of the 6th with the 12th syllable. The short story will appear like a Free Verse, to which, hidden within is the Alexandrine format. Therefore, entries will convey two forms, the first being the NATURAL outlay of the short story. The second will be the VISUAL outlay, that will show the Alexandrine format as a list of six syllable lines, which will be in the majority. Lines opposing the six syllables are variant lines, to which you'll indicate the differentiated number to the far left of the line, as seen by my examples for clarity. The added variant numbers total, divided by six, should equal a whole number. Added with the majority of the six's (non-variant lines), should be the total lines of your Alexandrine formatted short story, wherein lies my particular interest in how well it's hidden. *Grammar will be a challenge to maintain structural integrity, improvisation is needed as my examples have riddled.
