Dreaming!
[Rictameter]

Dreaming,
my mind adrift
(with all things wild and fair)
as sea winds sweeping silent slopes,
paint sunset softly on the hills of time
where love and youth have wandered far
mid memory-meadows
murmuring mists,
Dreaming

Although the two (alleged) 'poetry form and analysis' websites I consulted showed several (alleged) 'award winning' Rictameters beginning with first lines like: "I thought" and "Love sings", etc.; I have been told the beginning and ending lines have to be 1 word (2 syllables); ergo, perhaps this should have been:


Dreaming!
[Rictameter]

Dreaming,
my mind adrift
(with all things wild and fair)
as sea winds sweeping silent slopes,
paint sunset softly on the hills of time
where love and youth have wandered far
mid memory-meadows
murmuring mists,
Dreaming
