VIBRATIONS FROM A VERSO Poetry Contest

let’s be inspired again by an  invented form called Verso-Rhyme  by L. Ensley Hutton...

the Verso-Rhyme is:

- a poem in 8 lines with a syllabic count of 6-4-6-4-6-4-6-4…

-it has a rhyme scheme , xaxbxaxb. ( x being unrhymed)…

- this  is written without punctuation except an exclamation in the end...

your creative task is to pen a NEW, ORIGINAL poem choosing one of these prompts: 1) DEWFRESH MORN, or 2)  DARK COAL OF NIGHT...chosen prompt is the poem's title

         unique imagery, poetic mood, content of flow , and adherence to the form are my requirements...

my example of verso-rhyme:

It is in late duskfall   (x)
When your eyes claim  ( a)
The luster of new  stars  (x)
Irises gold   (b)
Warm as the  dusk’s ember (x)
A porch  aflame  (a)
Dazzling our foxtrot glide  (x)
Till clouds unfold!  (b)
