Exceptional Discovering the poetry in syllables Fifty Nifty Syllables by Mary Furlong Write a Rictameter writing prompt entry Artwork by supergold at FanArtReview.com

Counting syllables in poetry begins to make sense because repeated sounds compose a fine melody of their own. Not the melody of sonnets, nor that of simple rhymes. Just temple bells counting. Writing Prompt A rictameter has 9 lines with a syllable count of 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, with the last lines word/s identical to the first. Rhyming is not needed.
