Canada Rose

Boogie
holiday sway
time for Canada Day!
celebrating our nation's pride
as freedom whispers o'er scarlet petals
hey! shake what your mama gave ya!
dance with waves of passion
watch maple flag
boogie


By Melissa P. Monette

A rictameter is similar to a cinquain
it consists of 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2 syllable lines
the first and last line must coincide

Great write Melissa. You swing girl!   Happy Canada Day.  
Interesting a rictameter. Perhaps something for the next Workshop?

Melissa~

Simple
delight is done
in rictametered rhyme
endearing hearts in pleasured parts
celebration of dance has now begun
boogie across the stage, my dear
booty-shaking dancer
breathtakingly
Simple

You ROCK, CanadaGirl !
*Hugs*

I'm here, I'm here, it's boogie time, and I got me dancin shoes on!

A little Canadian eh, from Vancouver, B.C.
Boogie woogie, giggle puss, yup that's me!
I got my little flag, and some sparklers too,
Want to boogie to our freedom with you!

Let's sing out to our country loud and proud,
You and me Melissa will stand out in the crowd,
'Cause we've got "Passions Power" inside our soul,
Go girl, shake your bootie, shimmy up that flag pole!

Okay, okay, so it's forced!



Just kidding!

Perfectly done Melissa, and Happy Canada Day!

If I have made you smile today, then I have done my job!    ~* Mysteria *~
