The pattern for this style goes like this:
First start with the wick of the candle and that's 9 line in total.
Syllable count for the wick is: 1.2.3.4.5.4.3.2.1.
Then the body of the candle is 20 lines in total.
The syllable count is: 6 syllables in each line.
And the format is: A1,2,3,4,A1,6,7,8,A1,10,11,12,A1,14,15,16,A1,18,19,20.
The bottom,(line 21)that's the last line, at the end of candle(candleholder)consists
of 12 syllables and is composed from lines A1 and line 2.These two lines combined together form the base of the candle or candleholder.Now these two lines can be separated either by a period,semi-period or a comma.This is the poet's choice.
Rhyme is optional.
Subject:It must be either spiritual,uplifting or inspirational.
