Poem in Wave Form for Storm

A chapter in the book Pet Stories

Stormy Waves

by Mustang Patty

Cat
so soft
warm
lying
Oh so still
And yet
your
mind is
actively
tracking the noise
of your next
victim
A
tiny
little ant
crawling
slow
on the
floor




This poem is for my cat, Storm. Storm lived with us from 1995 until late 1999. He was a beautiful tuxedo with a very sweet disposition. He loved to hunt ants~
A Wave poem is written in such a way as to portray a series of ocean waves. This classic form uses short lines of less than eight syllables; the theme is usually a display of tranquility, or something calm from nature. Meter and rhyme are not utilized, but instead a changing syllable pattern is used to make the shape of the ocean waves.

The syllable pattern I chose to use is as follows:

1,2,1,2,3,2,1,2,3,4,3,2,1,2,3,2,1,2,1

My research shows that this is not the only pattern to be used; it all depends on the height and depth of waves you wish to portray.
