Winter Wonderland {Rictameter}

by HOLLYWOODxBANGBANG   Oct 5, 2006


-Winter Wonderland.-

Snow falls,
On the roof-top,
As eager eyes do watch.
The beautiful snow slowly drifts,
In a winter wonderland around them,
Decorated with white snowflakes.
Frosty windows steamed with,
A Child's sweet breath...
Snow falls.

A rictameter is made up of nine lines, with a syllable count of 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2. The last line must be the same as the first.

    Umm i dont think that this poem, goes with the style.. if each line doubles syl.lable count shouldnt it go-
    1/2/4/8/?/8/4/2/1
    yours goes- 2/4/6/8/10/8/6/4/2
    if thats the way its suppossed to be then i thnk you should rewrite what the explanation of the styule is...
    Other than that---
    `This such a comforting poem. it made me happy. Problem areas-
    * there should not be a period ending each line, there should be one a tthe end of each thought, use commas instead-
    Snow falls,
    On the roof-top,

    The beautiful snow slowly drift(s?).

    `i do not like the word 'them' it just doesnt sound right to me. i ttruly thinkit should be revised..
    *Frosty windows steamed with.(the 'with shouldnt be a tthe endof this line...it throws off the flow and makes it a little choppy.)

    Other than that^^ i think it was a very nice poem, better tha many nature poems i've read/written. i9t was so sweet..

    This poem is like being wrapped up in a comfy blanket, or sort.
    I see the image that youre talking about.

    "Frosty windows steamed with.
    A Child's sweet breath"
    These lines says so much, its kinda a child/kid day- dreaming.

    k.k

    God Bless!
