A touch of Summer (Rictameter)

by Meena Krish   Sep 21, 2012


Summer
her ardent eyes
touch all corners of earth
stirring heat upon the surface,
green lands dry whilst her torrid soul breathes down
soaking all essence as night crawls
in thirstily with a
humid scent of
summer.

Rictameter:
Starting the 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.
