Rictameter Rictameter is a scheme similar to Cinquain. Starting your first line with a two syllable word, you then consecutively increase the number of syllables per line by two. i.e. 2,4,6,8,10 Then down again, 8,6,4,2 Making the final line the same two syllable word you began with.
Example #1: Beauty Solemn beauty Decorates you with kiss Freed just once of its bridled tongue Confessing shame at its unworthiness To e'er have loved or touched your grace To e'er have looked upon That face which is Beauty

Example #2: Satin As your lips are Pressed to mine as velvet Soft and full with rounded sweetness Two gentle petals alive with the night Misted in the summer beauty Of rains that shower love 'Pon your lips of Satin

Example #3: Childhood Is valued high Above the treasures bright Shining like the brilliant sun light Fulfilling dreams I never knew I had All magnified in my child’s laugh All brightened by his smile Increased by love Childhood
