How about putting Cinquain as a style? It's a five line poem, syllable structure 2 (1st line), 4 (2nd), 6 (3rd), 8 (4th), 2 (5th). The last two syllables should both be stressed and nouns and verbs should feature more promiently than adjectives and adverbs. But I'm sure you didn't need me to tell you that.

Also, is there something wrong with the system at kaolin's end? Nobody at college can get to poemranker, and that's the only place that I can get on regularly? Or is it just that the college system's crap?

Cheers

From which poetic tradition does this come from - is it a French thing? Can you give us an example?
