Today's Prompt is Rictameter

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

  2. Softly
    Time 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!
