SUMMER SOLSTICE AT STONEHENGE (Palindrome)

Sun!
In my halo, 
open, 
I mull its altar: All.
I plait its lost light.
I lag, emanating: 
I lay a ray, align.
I tan a megalith gilt.
Solstitial pillar, at last illumine — 
pool a hymn in us.

BLACKBEARD (Alternating Bivocalism*)

Blackbeard — menace at sea.
Enslave all the waters
and shred all the waves.
As the mast, helm, and stern race fast,
bear the flag
jet black;
spread the blade
and the name.

(* a & e alternate throughout; all other vowels are excluded)

ATLANTIS WISHED (Anagram-Sonnet)

Within sad slate,
wind halts a site.
The island waits,
sans tidal white.
Awe hits its land—
At dawn, this isle
tilts wise a hand.
It stands awhile.

In wash, last tide,
the sand it wails.
Wan salt, it hides
its wit and shale.
Its death in laws,
it lies and thaws.

CLOUDS AT DAWN (Palindrome by Triples)

Sky white. Rain,
as fawns adorn my morns....
A dawn
as fainter whisky.
