At the Next Light

I make things up
and write them down
in my buildup
to my breakdown
Maybe I’ll miss
the black abyss
with obscure fobs

Please, Hold My Dreams

There comes the time
when we should sleep
when climbs the rhyme
up from the deep
Not when we choose
to have our muse
disburse some verse

I do not lead,
merely suggest.
Whether you heed
is not my quest.
Understand, though,
I don’t follow.
Nor stay away.

23 May 2021 marks five years that ha’sonnets have existed. Not this site, though I’ve been writing them since the day after the form was created in the Rhymezone Forums 😁, but the poetry form. If you want to know more about ha’sonnets, see the “About the Ha’sonnet” page.
