Urban Sonnet
Invented by:  Laura Loo Urbaniak. Sonnet form, with 10 syllables per line and a rhyme scheme of: ABABBB- CDCDDD- EFEFFF-GG 

Hidden behind a crimson-colored cloud, a scarlet sun tints the horizon pink. A cerise mist entomb Sol like a shroud, as He slowly starts to shimmer and sink into an abyss of ebony ink; and night's shifting shadows begin to shrink. Luna, donning a glowing golden gown, ascends an ebony, star-studded sky. And diamonds and rubies adorn Her crown, as Mercury, Mars, and Venus rise high above the flashing lights of a firefly; and the emerging bats scurrying by. Dawn spills color, inking black sable skies, vermillion, purple, indigo, and blue. And like molten gold, Sol begins to rise, reflecting rainbow shades of every hue in the crystal droplets of morning dew; and once more, a brand new day starts anew. A silk spider web flaunts a silver sheen, beautifying a live canvas of green.
