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.
This form looks best
when centered
Example Poem
Shadow
The puppy
lived
because I rescued
him.
Just a boy myself,
no one close.
Nursed him to
health; trained him easily too
and my grandma
watched us blossom.
He played with me,
slept with
me, became my
Shadow
