Pretty Ugly Words

Forgive--Rictameter

Forgive.
Release your soul.
Let it fly away with
chewed up and strangled wings over
the sawtooth mountain horizon...away...
These things can boomerang, you know.
Don't you dare bring it back.
Old hurts die hard.
Forgive.

Notes ▼

Form: Rictameter

Rules: Rictameter has a scheme similar to the 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. The final line has the same two syllable word you began with.
