Dale Gregory Cozart Poet Sonnet

Aspens Quake: Hexsonnetta

The copse of aspens quake.
Horses graze and cows laze
as languid summer splays
emeralds in its wake,
low fields to overtake
the prospect's cyan glaze.

Immutable the sun
in lambent saffron drape
above the lucid scape
contemplates the glisten,
auscultates the paean,
the whispering of crepe

as runes the leaves impart
to dulcify the heart.*

*Hexsonnetta is a form invented by Andrea Dietrich

Silent One January 11, 2018 at 10:25 AM An interesting sonnet, do not think I have seen anything like this.. came to read you after noticing your name on July morning's blog... Dale Gregory Cozart January 11, 2018 at 10:36 AM It was invented by Andrea Dietrich. Because I entered a contest I took the credit off so it wouldn't be taken as an identifying mark. Once the contest is over I'll put the reference back.
