Monthly competition for Best of Bardic College: compose a praise poem in ochfochlach form.
The challenge for June is to compose a praise poem in ochfochlach form. Ochfochlach is eight lines of any number of syllables, AAABCCCB. (those letters simply mean lines 1, 2, and 3 rhyme, lines 4 and 8 rhyme, and 5, 6, and 7 rhyme.) The poem can be in praise of any person, named or anonymous, fictitious or real, living or dead. The contest will end on June 27th and the winner will be chosen by votes from members of Bardic College.
