A HUNGRY WORM
A
Waltz Wave

an
autumn
leaf
colours
many hues
from reds
to
golden
breezes waft
leaves scatter far
discovered
by a
worm
hungry
for a meal

A Waltz Wave defined: WALTZ WAVE
This form, named for Leo Waltz, the Web Manager of Sol Magazine, asks for a one-stanza titled poem, with nineteen lines; each line has a set number of syllables.
Pattern: 1/2/1/2/3/2/1/2/3/4/3/2/1/2/3/2/1/2/1
Words may be split into syllables to fit the pattern. This form seems to induce a soothing cadence as the lines gently increase and decrease, so it is suggested that topic chosen for this form also be soothing.
This form was allegedly found on P.S. sadly not under 'W'? Has the form name altered, or has it been deleted from the form list? Feedback, please... Mick
