Topical Tree Poetry
~~~~~~~~~~

//\\
the African plains
once lush... verdant... living
dust devils now reign
[[[]]]
in the jungle
the sightly found a living
all the jungles... gone...
[[[]]]
dust devils thriving
anhydrous ere the dew drops
beetles salvation
[[[]]]
nature provides
many niches...  dew drops... life
the early birds drink
dry
arid
dried
desert
barren
drought
desolate
torrefied
dehydrated
wet

'Topical Tree Poetry: Defined:'
A new form of poetry invented by me, (Mick E Talbot), utilising, the 'shape' poetry format overall. Using the 'snowball' poetry form for the trunk, and any form that makes for a good canopy. The subject material must be "topical", ie, trending, current, historical, events. 

The format: The canopy; any form of poetry, 1 stanza, no restraint on the number of lines. Lines not to exceed 12 syllables.
The 'trunk'; a form referred to as a snowball. It starts with the smallest word alluding to the topic, then using synonyms increase in size by 1* letter, ending in an antonym, refer to my example poem. The whole must be centered. 

* Try to make the trunk branchless, the odd knobbly bump or hole not a problem. (The latter will happen at times).You can by hitting the space bar make the branch/es, hole/s appear on one side of the trunk, Or the other, just an afterthought ;-) Mick
