Rictameter
A rictameter is a nine-line poem. Each line has a specific number of syllables. The first line has two syllables. The next line has four. The next line has six. The next line has eight. The next line has ten. And we work our way down again (8,6,4,2)The last line is the same as the first line.
So it looks like this.
| Line 1: | Two syllables |
| Line 2: | Four syllables |
| Line 3: | Six syllables |
| Line 4: | Eight syllables |
| Line 5: | Ten syllables |
| Line 6: | Eight syllables |
| Line 7: | Six syllables |
| Line 8: | Four syllables |
| Line 9: | Two syllables - Same Line As First Line |
OURS IS ...
Sunshine
melting Winter
slowly flowers renew
opening for the humming bee's
hungry for the sweetest tasting nectar
pollen filled darting here and there
kissing petals gently
loving the Spring
sunshine
YOUR TURN
ENJOY

I miss you so
Where on Earth did you go
I feel you so very close to me
Jack barks at the spot where you used to be
Your energy fills my heart and house
Your memory fills my soul
Oh please come home
Bonnie
Softly
ReplyDeleteTime trickles past
We can not stop the flow
Nor make a precious moment last
But savour every moment, make it slow
Dip your glass of time’s sea so vast
The sun-kissed seconds glow
Make sadness fast
Hold love
Softly
Morning!
