easier to see it done than to translate rules to paper

I think we need an example.

Please critique!

I saw your mum, so still, so sad to die
so near my house, her legs in air, eyes blank
I knew her face and prayed her soul to fly

I didn’t see the killer, car or tank?
We moved her body gently off the street
the day was hot, not long before she stank.

The flies arrived to feed, your mum was meat.
Her belly moved, I reached inside her pouch
And found you there, my heart it missed a beat

So safely curled within that fleshy couch
Oh bub it was so hard to take you out
You live because you’re strong, for that I vouch
A kangaroo should live to jump about.

This is a mix of funny and sad terza rima.
It kept my attention till I got to the last few lines.
Some lines are longer than pentameter. You might like to work them out.
But I have alredy enjoyed reading this.
Well done dear!!

Looking with fresh eyes ive picked a few meter misses already lol

?

Helllloooo?!! I thought the workshop has started.

I'm unable to put in the mental ability. My I finally after using the cognitive brain training app that my cognitive is really bad.. After using the app i am rather pathetic. Grins. I catched on to the other brain training app rather quickly. Grins but not with this one. Once i caught on, I soon got totally confused and had to start over. Story of my life.
I can't on on the concept long enough then my eyes go blurred and I can't continue.

This structure and style sound fun and I'd love to participate and learn it.
Doctor are useless at telling you what's wrong then treating you. Lol I'll never quit trying though.

I am sorry to hear you're not feeling well. No worries as for the job. You can join anytime you feel better.
Take care dear.

Ok. everyone let's move on to the next form hoping for Mr. Snow to heal and show up soon.

The Ottava Rima - according to Wikipedia - is a rhyming stanza form of Italian origin. Originally used for long poems on heroic themes, it later came to be popular in the writing of mock-heroic works. Its earliest known use is in the writings of Giovanni Boccaccio.

The ottava rima stanza in English consists of eight iambic lines, usually iambic pentameters. Each stanza consists of three alternate rhymes and one double rhyme, following the a-b-a-b-a-b-c-c pattern. 

It can also be a two octive poem.abababcc, dededeff

or
three octive poem. abababcc, dededeff, ghghghii

Let's see what can everyone can do with this form guys :)

Ps. Just realized that I have posted this earlier in the wrong place, hence, I am posting again.

I need to know who is still with us. What do you think? Should we go on with the workshop or you prefer to postpone until sir Wesley is back?
I understand what ever is your preference. BUT
I hate to see it postponed. I know Mr. Snow would have liked to see it rolling as was scheduled earlier.
So what do you people say?

Your response Khalid. It's unfortunate that I didn't hear from the others. I'll do my best to find the time to finish this. Just be patient and bear with me.

we can wait for a couple of weeks till you write your Ottava Rima.
Does this fit you?

We waited longer than we should. So let's move on to the third form. Still we do always welcome any submissions of any form.

(Old Occitan: cledisat [klediˈzat]; also known as sestine, sextine, sextain) is a fixed verse form consisting of six stanzas of six lines each, normally followed by a three-line envoi. The words that end each line of the first stanza are used as line endings in each of the following stanzas, rotated in a set pattern.
The patterns of word repetition are as follows, with each number representing the final word of a line, and each row of numbers representing a stanza: 

          1 2 3 4 5 6
          6 1 5 2 4 3
          3 6 4 1 2 5
          5 3 2 6 1 4
          4 5 1 3 6 2
          2 4 6 5 3 1
The envoy should have the six words with two in each line as follows
   (6 2) (1 4) (5 3) 

The invention of the form is usually attributed to 12th-century troubadour Arnaut Daniel; after spreading to continental Europe, it first appeared in English in 1579, though sestinas were rarely written in Britain until the end of the 19th century. It remains a popular poetic form, and many continue to be written by contemporary poets. A challenging form indeed. Anyone? I am going to post an example done by sir Wesley earlier to clarify everything about the form.

(in reference to ÇAÇÔ, Man of the Morning Star)

The strength of ideology as known
rests with the knowledge men shall seek a god.
A doctrine merely amplifies the tone
and makes a cult of anything so odd
as that which queerly contradicts one’s own,
for all else is to one’s belief a fraud.

But ere we speak of man’s inherent fraud
or all he trusts his ancestors have known,
let’s first address perspectives we can’t own
and ask what is the fervent creed of God.
The query may, of course, seem rather odd,
but after all, His doctrine is the tone.

Imagine first this “God” with lonesome tone
(and trusting He Himself shan’t answer fraud)
might pose a quandary autochthonic odd,
for with no point of reference it’s not known
by Providence the truth of what is God.
God has no mirror He may call His own.

What is it that Almighty God can own?
If He is every color, every tone,
then He knows not what is and isn’t God,
for anything beyond Him must be fraud.
I am not you and this I’ve always known,
a “Point of Reference” seeming never odd.

But such an attribution would be odd
for Him to note a soul that’s not His own.
Omnipotence means nothing is not known.
His color shows no contrast in its tone.
All things are God and all that’s not is fraud.
God is and God sees naught that isn’t God.

But back to man’s belief in what is God.
That we know naught of Him should not seem odd
nor should we note another’s faith as fraud.
For though mankind He seeming claims to own,
He knows not Self, His tinge is all one tone.
This then guides man’s belief of all that’s known.

I feel I’ve known there is but one true God.
He’s set the tone that makes me rather odd,
but though I own Him not, He seems no fraud.

Bro. We are not in a hurry. Have you noticed the ending words?

So happy to see you back
We've all missed you.
