Evaporate (Rictameter)

by MyHalozChokinMe   Nov 20, 2012


Sadly,
Skies cry tonight
And the rain stains the ground.
My footsteps disseminate in
Misty pools of soluble emotion.
Evaporating in my wake,
They fade away into
The lonely gray,
Sadly.

~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.~

    I love this. I like the form you picked for it, very cleveryly done.

    I have to say the wording in this poem really got to me and I connected with this so much. It is like that moment of depressoin and everything feeling lost, you have put into such few words in a way that describes it so powerfully.
