Republic Day in Rictameter


 























 



Republic Day in Rictameter

 

 
 


wait for picture

 
 



Mother
had many names
and no face, just wrinkles
For her, nothing. But some twinkles,
she had asked for her starry-eyed children
So she got a constitution
and two more names
None sweeter than
Mother

Rictameter is a form of poetry with nine lines. The format is
simple. 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.
