It's been a while, so here's a new set of rules.
The topic/theme is Quotes.
The rules are: The opening stanza is a quote of your choosing (be sure to credit it correctly). Set it out however you want, but the structure you choose must be used for the rest of the poem. Some freedom is permitted in the final stanza.
My example uses a quote that handily has the right amount of syllables for a haiku. So every stanza is a haiku, and the final one is a tanka. Enjoy.
