Bright sunlight shines the image of a tree onto a hillside making abstract patterns. I caught my eye and imagination.

Limited punctuation and the capitalization is intentional.

This poem is a Diatelle.
A Diatelle is a pattern poem that has a set syllable count and a set rhyme. When done correctly, it forms a stunning pattern that is an eyecatcher. The rhyme scheme helps create some beautiful verse as well. The longer lines in the middle give plenty of room for creativity.

The syllable count is:

1-2-3-4-6-8-10-12-10-8-6-4-3-2-1,

The rhyme scheme is:

abbcbccaccbcbba.
