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
