Angels
Beings of Light
Who guide and protect us
~*+*Celestial companions*+*~
Blessed messengers from the Realm of God
Invisible friends of childhood
Lending grace to our lives
Always on guard
Angels

~Writing
Rictameters
Beautifully in flow
Not an easy style to conquer
But my dear, you have done it up first-rate
Creating angelic image
In softest colored ink
Inspire of pen
Writing~


In other words ... Ya' done GOOD !!!

No, I most assuredly do not mind you "keeping" this poem. It fact, it tickles me pink!

Excellently written.  Personally I've never heard of rictameters, but I love the way they flow; and you captured a great essence with it.  I simply loved it!

Hi, there! Welcome to Passions! I hadn't known what a rictameter was before I joined PiP either! I have learned a great deal since I joined this wonderful family of kindred spirits!

A rictameter starts off with 2 syllables (beats) on the first line.

the next has 4
then 6
then 8
then 10
then 8
then 6
then 4
then 2 which are the same as on the first line

Try one! They are so much fun to do!

Warm welcoming hugs,
EA
