No more planning, no more waiting,
No more frantic breath-abating,
No more standing in the line,
No more checking off the time,
No more nervous fretting,
No more not-just-yetting,
No more crawling time,
Now the time is flyin’!
Now the racers
Set the pace.
Get set:
GO!
Ooooh! Great use of form to highlight a countdown and the escalation of tension. I like this form a lot. Does this have a name?
Probably, although I’m not sure what it is. The reduction just felt right, so I went with it. I’ll stop by shadowpoetry.com tomorrow and see if I can find the right name for it. Their directory is fairly comprohensive.
Really glad you liked it. Thank you for taking the time to comment.
—EDIT—
Found a form called an etheree, which is ten lines slowly increasing in length. So you might call this a modified reverse etheree.
