Invented Form - The Tripenta
The rules are simple: write a "Tripenta". A tripenta is an invented formal verse poetry style that I came up with. It can be anywhere from 3-33 lines, but each line must be an iambic trimeter, up until the last line, which is an iambic pentameter. Ideally, the trimeter will have an odd number of lines. Every line must rhyme the same, but slant rhymes are acceptable. A tripenta will also have a rhyming title, but the writer can chose to do that or not. It can be in stanzaic or stichic; it's also up to you. Whichever poem gets the most likes is the winner. Here is an example of the tripenta:
"49 Degrees"
On mornings such as these, /
with wrens among the trees, /
condensing breath will greet /
the air surrounding me. /
And then the neighbors see /
the cold and swaying breeze /
that pushes birds to fly along with ease.

Tripenta Example “49 Degrees”
On mornings such as these,
with wrens among the trees,
condensing breath will greet
the air surrounding me.
And then the neighbors see
the cold and swaying breeze
that pushes birds to fly along with ease.
