Whoa, hey there! I didn't know you had a Group!

It would be an honor to affiliate with you!

Thank You so much for the invitation.
I would have otherwise not known

Does it count as structured if it's a form that I appear to have largely pulled out of thin air?

I ask because I once wrote a Petrarchan Sonnet that seemed to prefer to be Sprung verse, rather than hendecasyllabics. Or perhaps I couldn't make it stick. Either way, it would be a stretch to say that I managed even that much, and am currently looking back at it to see if I can do anything else with the structure (Sprung Petrachan Sonnent). Would I be able to submit any results here?
... Of what you've thus written, I recognise the following: "the". ... Okay, and "Petrarchan". But considering that you have knowledge of such things as "sprung verse" and threw down the word "hendecasyllabics" without hesitation, I will trust that your submissions will be perfectly acceptable, if not quite assuredly more than so.
Why do you decline my submissions?
If a piece of yours is declined, it does not appear to be structured at all or is only partly structured and otherwise unstructured. This is, after all, a group for fixed form poetry. There are times, however, that I may mistake a piece as being unstructured, especially if it doesn't rhyme (i.e. blank verse). If that is the case, then notify me of such, re-submit, and I'll gladly accept the piece. Submissions to this group simply have to fit what the group is all about, though! :)
li1121, that happened again - the group doesn't accept my addings even my works have bith rhyme and rhythm. Really, I don't understand whether you read the poems attentively before making a decidion? It seems to me strange when I see that some blank verse type poems join the folders in the group but good works written specially for it don't.
Seclusion of Stars doesn't consistently rhyme and doesn't have a recognisable metre, so I can't say that's structured. Blank verse is a structure based on metre.
