HexSonnetta
The HexSonnetta, created by Andrea Dietrich, consists of two six-line stanzas and a finishing rhyming couplet with the following set of rules: Six syllables per line,
Rhyme Scheme: a/bb/aa/b c/dd/cc/d ee

The echo returns not; lost in time's endless haze. Navigating life's maze; hope comes to a blind spot; a place devoid of thought that's counting down the days. Our future and our past are written in the dust. Held together by trust and questions never asked; we're a sound that can't last a breeze; no more a gust; we return to Stardust. The echo returns not; dissolving into naught.
