Kim Van Breda Poet Rictameter

Madness

Madness
Mild Psychosis
Grips fragile Precipice
Escalating Insanity
Purple sirens poised beneath numb bleached eyes
Staring down white bulbs blanking glare
Piercing screams flip the surge
Neurostatements
Madness

Hannington Mumo May 15, 2015 at 10:03 AM Sheer madness! Are you into the medical field? Because you write with such biological thoroughness that makes one grope around for an mental maladies encyclopedia...7++!! Kim Van Breda May 15, 2015 at 10:41 AM Thank you so much Hannington. No, I wish I was in the medical field :) Both my kids are doctors though, so I guess that makes up for it. Mental maladies?... hmmmm... that is a whole new story altogether. Have a great weekend xx~xx

Richard Lamoureux May 15, 2015 at 8:37 AM I'm not all that familiar with the form but it was very effective in describing the word. Kim Van Breda May 15, 2015 at 9:20 AM Hi Richard.. thanks. Once you discover this format it becomes quite addictive... all on syllable count,the title being 2 syllables.. then going up in two's and back again.. 2/4/6/8/10/8/6/4/2. But I'm sure you knew that ;) A great format for mood poetry xx~xx
