and skies grown desolate and gray,
for stars that fell from tinseled heights
and mountains bleak...

Distances
by Michael R. Burch

Moonbeams on water?
the reflected light
of a halcyon star
now drowning in night...
So your memories are.

I prefer the original definition of the sonnet as a “little song” of indeterminate form and length. These modern sonnets vary from more-or-less traditional to free verse.

Auld Lange Syne

And never brought to mind?

And days for which we pine?

Days passed,...

just like under water
and we run out of breath 
like insects running around 
frantically out of time
we are magnified 
in our tight enclosures

Premium Member Compassionate Returns

mutual biological interests,
a powerful tool

These compassion communications,
positions,
postures,
poses,
plays,
prances and dances and trances,
