Crystalline
A two line image poem, often with a title, in which euphony is the key factor. Each line may have 8 or 9 syllables to make a total of seventeen.

I stood poised with a nervous grin
mustering the courage to jump in.

I really like how you did your crystalline for that picture. As for me, I would never have the courage to jump in. Someone would have to push me in!!

Wonderful! Poise will mess me up so I just do it! Like swimming with stingrays...lots of them and in choppy waves...also zip lines over rainforest canopy. Am I that brave...no, but my husband encouraged these.
