    Say, that is a very good haiku. Do you ever write poetry?
    Sonnets, rondeau, quatrains, and other poetry forms etc.?-Tyr

    I do a little of a lot of things.

    succinctness is my thing.

    brevity is the soul of wit.

    There In Morning Sun, Hope Circled Enticing Dreams


    From inside gaping jaws, golden honey slow drips
    its taste as if bitter hell came with deadly judgment
    life turned into a bevy of sunken ships
    with the dried up bones below a sadden statement.

    With solid granite illuminating moon 's glow
    ironclad hills buried secrets sadder mysteries
    impropriety ran in and melted wicked snow
    starving for more people ate from empty granaries.

    The wicked angels flew about on leaden wings
    watching for the innocence of the golden truth
    dawn's light erupted brought the small songbirds that sing
    for hot romance and the vanities of our youth.

    There in morning sun, hope circled enticing dreams.
    Father time gave its fruit to fill the icy streams.

    Robert J. Lindley, Sonnet,

    With Gypsie Luck, My Own Weaken Steps Retrace

    I walked in shy shadows leaving not a trace
    dawn birthed winds carried a rose-fragrant smell
    pleased, accepting what is owed, no disgrace
    rivers of joyous happiness, I could not tell.

    After illumination, shadow was to pass
    I walk forward to find that, my paradise place
    I was not born to be an ordinary lass
    and with Gypsie luck, my own weaken steps retrace!

    Hold this thought, the future may even more hurt bring
    tho' no cloud could it powers follow to defy
    and the flaming desert provides its scorpion stings
    I see Gods have given me a beautiful sky.

    This heart, this soul, flies forth into eternity
    whilst time flies onward into its infinity
    whilst hope promised me happiness and much more
    And truth truly is, love promised a huge score.

    Robert J. Lindley, original 1980
    16 verse sonnet,
    Rhyme, new 2023 Aug. 02

    Note: This was as much as I could remember of an older(early 1980's) and much longer poem that was composed back then. The original was quite a bit longer.
