**********************************************
The Brevette, created by Emily Romano consists of a subject (noun), verb, and object (noun), in this exact order. The verb should show an ongoing action. This is done by spacing out the letters in the verb. There are only three words in the poem, giving it the title Brevette.

snail
l e a k s
slime

Each of the three words may have any number of syllables, but it is desirable that the poem have balance in the choice of these words. Unlike haiku, there are no other rules to follow.

    Dang this was sure an impressive write, what a interesting form, couldnt have said this any better than myself, everything was soo true. My favorite two sets were..
    Sun
    rises
    beauty

    and

    sadness
    consumes
    happiness

    Loved your word choice with consumes to describe how it eats away the happiness. So very true!

    5/5.

    Sylvia,
    What can I say to someone who knows so many forms and always amazes me with more. I absolutely adored this poem and think you done well with it. The forms are always the toughest for me and you manage to do them with ease. Great write dear. Take Care, Kay
