GHOST STORY (Anagram-Haiku)
I find your strange ghost
out in the fog, in dry grass —
Grief haunts dying roots.MOON IN A WATERFALL (Palindrome)
A null lore, now:
One lost,
solo slab,
benign
in a waxing of pity....
A rapid,
I dip a ray,
tip fog —
nix a waning,
in ebb, also —
lost,
sole,
now one,
roll Luna....LIPOGRAMS (uses l, i, p, o, g, r, a, m, & s only)
A glossarial
origami, prim as glass,
rolls a lipogram.RIME (Palindrome by Pairs)
Met I a sonnet’s rime,
in a lent pastoral,
or a poem atemporal —
or a toast,
penal in merits,
neon as time....ACROSTIC SONNET
Around
Constraint,
Resound
Or paint
Some thought
To stroll
In taut
Control....
See lines
Obey
New signs
Now they
Explore
Their law.
