Pretty (Rictameter)

by Maple Tree   Apr 28, 2012


Pretty
eyes of magic,
gaze across a blue moon
seeking redemption, peaceful dreams
unlocking a vision so powerful,
that a limber body shall faint,
speechless and numb, " He sighs "
my love, you are
pretty

Rictameter is a scheme similar to Cinquain. Starting your first line with a two syllable word, you then
consecutively increase the number of syllables per line by two. i.e. 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 Then down again,
8, 6, 4, 2 Making the final line the same two syllable word you began with.
