An adventure awaits you around the bend
Think of a rushing rollercoaster
Hurtling to a blind corner
Try to hold the tracks
Thrilling hope
Wish
Dream
Earth is near
Crushing flight
Try to hold the maps
Sailing to a new country
Think of a luxury smooth liner
You will step on the soil of many countries

nice gemma.. is that like a fiba nd a reverse fib... or did you just plan it out that way on your own... either way it looks and sounds marvelous.....
Gemma, this is really good. I love roller coasters and could truly envision this easily. And, the way that you ended the piece on foreign soil is great. I would love to travel someday. I agree with Paisley that this poem looks like a fib/ reverse fib or a nonet/ reverse nonet. Either way, I really like the way it looks on the screen. Have a nice day or possibly night where you are. See Ya~
Thanks for the great comments!
I followed the base idea of a nonet, but started with 11 syllables, reduced by 2 per line, then increased 2 per line till the last line was 11 syllables again!
Don't think there's a name for it yet!

Beautiful! And what great fortunes too. I always get the sort of fortunes that aren't so much fortunes as they are statements. ;-)
