Soothes my poor soul

Sends a thrill right through me
Attuned to your

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.
