Cloaking Softwhere

The fog rolled in

on a slight breeze

shushing the din

hiding the trees

Shrinking our world

as lights were pearled

and night glowed white

Technically this is not a ha’sonnet because it does not meet the requirement to have a volta or twist. However, in the spirit of those who write three line pieces with lines of five, seven and five syllables and call them haikus even though they don’t meet any other requirement for a haiku, I’m posting this on my ha’sonnet site. 🙂

Stylistically

The weather’s change
to Winter clothes
means fashions range
from loves through loathes
as layered looks
are on the books
until Spring’s frill

At Rainbow’s End

The rainbow’s deal
we’ve all been told
points where to steal
a pot of gold
Blenheim was lit
so it got hit
and flew a loo
