Rhythms of Life

Music—Rictameter

Music
Soothes my poor soul
Jazz on the radio
Creating a calming blanket
Designed to restore my troubled spirit
Listening to your arrangements
Sends a thrill right through me
Attuned to your
Music
 
Drums—Lanturne
 
Drums
Beating
In perfect
Syncopation
Time

Song—Diamante

Song
happy, bittersweet
invigorating, tempting, rejoicing
playful, seductive, figurative, rhetorical
amusing, provoking, agitating
magical, love
Poem


Author's Notes:
This was written for a contest on AllPoetry called Contest Form, Form, Form by debilynn.  She wanted a rictameter, a lanturne and one other type of your choosing with instructions in author's notes on how to create it.  (PUTTING ALL ON ONE PAGE) The rictameter is similar to a Cinquain, syllable count of 2,4, 6, 8, 10,8,6, 4, 2 making the final line the same two syllable word you began with.  A lanturne is a five-line verse shaped like a Japanese lantern with a syllabic pattern of 1,2,3,4,1.  A Diamante is a seven-line contrast poem set in a diamond shape.
Line 1:  Noun or subject
Line 2:  2 adjectives describing the first noun/subject
Line 3:  3 -ing words describing the first noun/subject
Line 4:  4 words:  2 about the first noun/subject, 2 about the antonym/synonym
Line 5:  3 -ing words about the antonymn/synonym
Line 6:  2 adjectives describing the antonym/synonym
Line 7:  Antonym/synonym for the subject

Great work with the various styles. It was a neat twist!
