Autumn Leaves
A poem in rictameter form about the season of autumn |
![]() Autumn leaves, in colors of ever-changing hues, are truly a feast for the eyes. As they dance gaily through the crisp breezes, they serve to remind everyone that in their wake will fall the gentle white snowflakes. Form: Rictameter 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. http://www.shadowpoetry.com/resources/wip/rictameter.html |
