Laughter

Laughter
After my heart
Under the spell of heart
Glimmer, glare and shimmer of heart
Heavier feelings that come from the heart
Together with love from the heart
Eraser for the heart
Ruler of heart
  Laughter

Acrostic Rictameter with front end rhyme and end line epiphora

In rhetoric, an anaphora (Greek: ἀναφορά, "carrying back") is emphasizing words by repeating them at the beginnings of neighboring clauses. In contrast, an epistrophe (or epiphora) is repeating words at the clauses' ends.

    This is well written and I understand the repetition but I can't say honestly that I care for it. What I do like a lot though is the fact that laughter is the ruler and eraser for the heart. Clever that! Thank you for entering.

    Very intelligent write. I'm impressed with the acrostic and epiphora two things I could not do well. Laughter is a wonderful topic. It is also something I need to have more. It would be good for my heart.

    Sis, it seems petty of me to say this, but, it's so good that you should present it without the highlights, and with as little flourish as possible, even without the explanation; because this is a poem that stands or falls on its words. I love the injection of humour with "eraser" and "ruler". Very, very good indeed.

      Thank you so much Sis. I took your advice regarding the color change and by doing so it gave me an idea for a different type of formatting for a Rictameter. I decided to leave my notes because I am here on AP to learn and I believe others are too.

      I love your comments so much because you seem to catch exactly what I try to inflict in my work. I was hoping someone would pick up on the subtle humor.

    Sis,

    I don't think I have ever seen a rictameter set up this way, but you are the Form Queen, and this is why! This is amazing, and your subject is fantastic! Laughter can do soooooo much for one's heart. It is the medicine that we all need sometimes!

    Great job!

    Best of luck in this contest!

    and love
