To my knowledge, I made up a couple of my own poetic forms, mixed with other readily recognized forms.

The first one kind of wrote itself -- as I was trying to fall asleep last night! The syllabic count: 2/3/4/5/5/4/3/2 & the rhythmic pattern: A/B/A/C/C/A/B/A. Also,  lines #1 & #8 are the two-syllable title.  

Prompt #15: Wind Chimes

These wind chimes hang near our kitchen window, above Mom's chair at our dining table.  Quite often she will lift up her head to make it hit the shells to make music while we are at the table.

Wind Chimes:

Take me back

To former times,

Of tropical isles,

Lush flora for miles,

And sun-filled climes,

Breeze – no lack!

Wind chimes!

The other two are poems are acrostics, but with the first one I used the syllabic count of - 2/2/4/2/2, with no rhyme pattern.

Prompt # 16: YOUTH

Youth: young,

Or old --

Unimportant!

Then-what?

Health, hope!

This was a gift sent to me by my son, his wife,  & the grandchildren.  It is NOT a real cake. It  is all flowers, with some candles around the  pink rose in the center on top. 

THANK YOU TO ALL WHO SENT ME  VARIOUS BIRTHDAY GREETINGS!

   I am off to bed now, but will plan to catch up   with you all over the next few days.  Birthday   & other things have kept me away from Xanga this week.
