my book of rictameters as print and e-book versions on i-proclaim

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) October 25, 2010 -- this is a collection of self composed rictameters about various flowers their meaning, symbolism, appearance, colors and myths. Rictameter is a non rhyming form of poetry with the following pattern of syllable counts 2/4/6/8/10/8/8/6/4/2.the book abounds in rich language and exquisite imagery and is a joy to behold on palate of poetic ecstasy.

A rictameter is a nine-line syllabic structure typically used in poetry. The lines start at two syllables, incrementing upward by two to ten in the fifth line and ending with the same two syllable word as the first line.

Because this form involves a fixed syllabic count, it is a natural accompaniment with haiku and other fixed-syllabic poetry forms.
Created in the early 1990s by two cousins, Jason D. Wilkins and Richard W. Lunsford, Jr., engaged in regular poetic contest. This contest was the weekly practice of their self-invented order, The Brotherhood of the Amarantos Mystery, which was inspired by the movie Dead Poet's Society.
The first examples of the rictameter form to be made public were submissions made by Jason Wilkins to the website www.shadowpoetry.com in 2000. These are the first two poems created by both Jason D. Wilkins and his cousin, Richard Lunsford, Jr.
