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... OURS IS...

RAMBUNCTIOUSLY

See me

Rambunctiously

engulfed in written words

fulfilling a poetic dream

to be loved for the words I've chosen

creeping into the heart of you

lingering in your mind

where only you

see me

 21. Write a poem with the opposite hand that you write with or if you type your poems on the computer, use only one hand to type... LOL now now now , do it... one handed !!

Typing one handed
     is hard for me now

how
    hunt and peck
         was the only way
              I was able to type....

Today is Q

 

Today we are trying a Quinzaine... an unrhymed verse of fifteen syllables. The word comes from the French word quinze, meaning fifteen. The syllables are distributed over three lines so that there are seven syllables in the first line, five in the second line, and three in the third line (7/5/3). The first line makes a statement. The next two lines ask a question relating to that statement.

OURS IS...

 

 

Quaint is the mountain life.

Who needs the city...

Or the smog??

20. Remove your shoes. Write a poem that celebrates your feet.

FEET

Born with two, so happily

I've learned to walk tall

dancing in the falling rain

kicking up my heals in the fall

I've stubbed a toe a time or two

and wiggled them in mud so cool

I'm glad they carry me so strong

I love my feet... THEY RULE !!

LOL...

19. Close your eyes and listen to the sounds around you. If the sounds are peaceful, write a poem with a violent word as the title. If the sounds are loud, write a poem with a kind word as the title.

SILENCE

Televisions blaring the same old news

killing in the streets hearts being used

for once in world can we please find

a way to bring peace, is anyone kind?

No more to hear that same old boring *hit

For once I would like to hear silence a bit

so off I went to the garden one more time

and silence filled my heart and my mind !

This one was another struggle ... hope you all like it !

Today is P

 

Today we are doing a Pleiades...this form has a title with a single word. The poem itself has seven lines. The first word in each line begins with the same letter as the title.

 

Pleasure

 

Pajamas with paisley patterns

Pancakes with peanut butter spread

Pillows of down soft and comfy

Peaceful as the day begins

Porch swing in the shade

Puppies playing with frogs

Perfect place for pleasurable moments

 

 

YOUR TURN
ENJOY
