Suzette Prime
Created by Suzette Richards. Syllable count: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, etc. PLUS a philosophical statement. Any combination of a prime number syllable count may be used per line, to avoid mirror images as this will detract from the free style feel. The line breaks serve as punctuation and no caps used, unless it is called for.

I hardly recognize this modern world for it's changed so much within my lifetime I grew up in a much different place where people interacted face to face not through cutesy emojis used in cyberspace to express emotions on the internet on such sites as Skype, Facebook, and Twitter having never met each other in person nor do they ever expect they ever will for the meaning of a friend has changed to a numbers game and how many likes you can collect over other people competing with you on the cloud meanwhile, the tactile feel of a hardy handshake has all but gone the way of the dinosaurs nowadays

Emile, Oh what busy hands find in a world grown so idle. And voices now so distant. -Richard
