Diminished hexaverse rules
This poem format
Remember the rule
Of the syllables
In each paragraph
Reducing gently
First there are five
Four Three Two One
In a pattern
We all can learn
Must conform
To beauty
All may see
Renew
Anew
Do
***
In my first attempt, I focused only on the lines, not syllables and the faux pas went like this:
Journey of self to self through self
In the beginning
childlike innocence
and softened attention
gently rotated polarities
in carefree playful parlance
With formation of ego identity
came immersion in narrowness
stagnation in domain of transience
enveloping us in delusion of separateness
Upon exhausting and expending all our energy
recognising the futility of our stuporous indulgence
thought rested attention distilled in divine entwined synergy
The dropping of fears & desires spiralling the external ephemeral
unifying our in-form and formless consciousnesses with love eternal
In prayerful surrender
