Rictameter

the four seasons

Winter

snowcapped mountains

frozen lakes,  melting ice

cold starry nights, blankets in white

captured snowflakes, beating hearts, slow motion

your touch,  your breath, on me,  in me

our eyes kissed, our souls danced

past glance of

Winter

 

Spring

birds, bees

sun soaked flowers

ocean breeze, gentle rain

waking sunsets, captured rainbows

first time meeting, oh so fleeting,  you smile

precious moments, joined together

held forever, lightening flash

just a dash  and

splash of

Spring

 

Summer

ocean madness

hot sands and sunny skies

June bugs, lazy days , radios

sand castles, mud pies, your eyes , surprised~

first kiss, heavenly bliss , heat rise

under blankets embraced

bygone trace of

Summer

 

Autumn

reds, browns

amber delight

smell of leaves smoky sweet

Halloween candy, turkey treat

whispering willows in harmony weep

your laughter engulfs me complete

overcast, thunder blast

a repast of

Autumn

 

 

 

 

Author's Note

Rictameter
This is another one of my favorite forms to write in. It is very similar to a Cinquain in that is follows the same scheme but with a few variations. 2,4,6,8, 10 then down 8,6, 4 2

You start your first line with a two syllable word and end your last line with that same 2 syllable word.

Here is an Example of a series of Rictameters following a seasonal theme:
