Gardener Savant
Gardener Savant I’ve made a little lady garden Where once upon a time one moment can stand alone In actual ascending a little ruffley pink poesy poses Blossoms like twin boys blink ‘til both blue faces burst Limestone rocks like pewter lining tempers this babble Some crochet in ivy green wanders in...

Passion's Companionship
There was a slight bend to the horizon at sunset And more, a yellow cast than rose Part of the sun appeared scorched, or was that a bruise? The man in the moon, he watches and he smiles Like a child with a bright, red balloon Oh! My stomach feels a twinge, almost a poison… like lead from a pencil,...

Refreshing a Muse (Cento Form*)
I leant upon a coppice gate We tarried there in cloistered bower It was so quiet, the situation so surreal Everything else one can conquer I suddenly know that, With the daybreak there will be no sorrow Like a banquet of aged wine, choice pieces with marrow My God, My Lord If I might Do implore Your...

Absolute Spirit
With eager agility shaping pace Moonlight spans ‘cross footpaths; shows sprint of feet Where short shadows at odds, hang on to race Nighttime’s skilled passage heralds wane of heat A drip of dew’s weight dribbles down a ridge The buildup continues; knolls thrive with pass Life’s essence banks on...

Of the Same; as the Sea (Quatrain)
Your words enduringly edges around me You whisper and with a smile, I felt we would agree By spirit; roles apart from gender I am to you, as you to me, a devotee I feel chosen among our days; the length of time As we’re instantly stirred among reflective rhyme For, you appeared to me by means of...

Leading Moon
Those poplars so dear, Or the oaks, whose spacious limbs cross over my fields Could they have quelled the moonlight’s way in? The moon’s passage is calmed down this night, or quenched by a desert-like, filtering sun The silhouettes of nature tonight are like stencils; novel and in domino effect, the...

*Villanelle* Pt. 2 ~ Form Fad
Daylight Mission As wind with sky, mounts largely ‘cross the road Every part of the wooded deep swells Where, I find a drawbridge leading to humble abode When I walked towards where shadows glowed The path was brittle and bulky; lined with shells As wind with sky, mounts largely ‘cross the road My...

*Attempted Villanelle* - Form Fad
Morning’s Weeping Violets ~ While violets from a crevice weep I simply gather them in silence While, morning, she is still fast asleep Even lark or dove share hardly a peep We’re all, seemingly, in alliance While violets from a crevice weep Without delay sunrise takes her leap Gloriously recurring...

A New Frontier (Monorhyme)*
Once upon a time, his career Now an old farmer sits, pondering a new frontier A time when leather, saddles and steer, were all that he knew and life was more clear But, time comes and brings change from far to near and he never considered loss of what he held so dear By rising to the challenge of...

I found this form much like the Haiku ~ Senryu...a revised etheree even? The form is simply a profound, witty, humorous, wise, or etc...complete thought managed in 20 syllables.
