Water (Rictameter)

a heron stands
by the blue of the lake
against the gold of a sunrise.
a carp mirrored in the wind-touched blueness
jumps into the sound of water.
grey flight into morning.
only the sound -

Author's Note:
If anyone can tell me about the origins of rictameter I would appreciate it. I believe it to be a modern form, but can get no further. I have a half memory of reading about it in some book or other about form, but cannot now find the reference...
