Greece: Rhopalic Verse – A Greek form named for a rhopalon, a club that is thicker at one end. The poem is of unspecified number of lines. Each line is composed of words that have one more syllable than the preceding word. There is no set length for lines. There is no required rhyme or meter. How about a theme of growth since the lines do tend to grow in number of syllables as you write!
Being a writer
Pen
Paper
And a note
Thinking about
What I want to write
As I sit and read works
From the famous and from friends
Hoping ideas come easy
To fill my page and be creative
So that my feelings have a place to go

This is a nice poem but it is more an etheree instead of a rhopalic verse. As an example:
A paper important/ Comes into existence/ A letter unopened ordinary/ Seal broken revealing admiration/ etc. Where each word in the line has one more syllable than the one preceding it in that line….
Still I love the search for inspiration in this poem!

I thought it was the number of syllables per line! Which word would need the additional syllable? This one confuses me!
