Diatelle
~
The Diatelle is a fun, syllable counting form like the etheree with a twist. The syllable structure of
the diatelle is as follows: 1/2/3/4/6/8/10/12/10/8/6/4/3/2/1, but unlike an ethere, has a set rhyme
pattern of abbcbccaccbcbba. This poetry form may be written on any subject matter and looks
best center aligned in a diamond shape.

The Diatelle form was created by Bradley Vrooman.

Example #1:

Burning Pages
~
Night
So near
You can hear
What it must say
Breaking every fear
Taking all of the sin away
Leave them all behind, as in yesterday
Rip the pages, soak them in gasoline, ignite
With fire, watch them burn, scatter, flay
Disappear and no longer stray
Gone with the wind, no tear
Will fall this way
It is clear
Appear
Light

Interesting form.
I think I would like to read these instead of writing one. You see I just write poetry and have not counted syllables in so long, after having treatment for cancer the numbers run together. But I do like the form. -
Wow! Thank you so very much for the silver
I am very very honoured and thrilled. Many congratulations to the other winners. Thanks so much for hosting this contest and challenging me to a new form.
