WD Poetic Form Challenge: The Bop
What better way to follow up The Big 10 challenge than with The Bop!
This form, developed by Afaa Michael Weaver, incorporates several elements, including a refrain, problems, resolutions, and more. Click here to learn how to write The Bop.
As in
previous challenges, the poet who writes The Bop that I like best will be
featured in a future issue of Writer's
Digest magazine (most likely the October issue). Poets should
paste their poems in the comments below; I will not accept submissions by any
other means--or attached to any other posts.

Challenge.
The deadline for The Bop challenge is May 30,
2011, at 11:59 p.m. (Atlanta, GA time). That means you have roughly 18 days to bop away. Now get poeming!
