P - Pictorial
The Pictorial form was created by Emily Romano. It's a type of shape poem where the entire poem is created with slanting lines.
3 lines (I have no idea how to count lines in a poem that is shaped and wavers up and down!)
5 words or less per line
rhyme included somewhere, internally or line ends (I admit, mine misses there, but there is an internal rhyme within ground and down.)

I think I have three lines after all!
Wind blows the wet petals to the ground
While wind blows the dry leaves up into the air
to swirl and dance down the road
Love this. I'd say you've created a lovely pictorial poem.
ReplyDeleteThank you. :) It's not so hard on paper (the shaping, not the words), but trying to get it typed out and sized and then changing the font and losing the shape... that's the hard part! Once it stayed this way I didn't dare make it bigger!
DeleteThanks for sharing this form of poetry, one I've never heard about before but look forward to trying. The picture you chose illustrates your poem, and your poem's words and shape illustrate the picture! Excellent.

Thank you. I like to include a photo, my own if I can. Sometimes it surprises me there are none out there depicting just what I want. I would think leaves blowing in the air would be a common one. Well, maybe if I paid, but I won't!
