Haiku Sonnet

It’s not often that I write structured poetry, but I happened across this form and really liked it. So, here it is. My Haiku Sonnet.

 

hometown dusky light settles on the broad shoulders of oaks that line my hometown honeysuckle scents drift into my senses i think of times long past meandering through thoughts and streets that once I knew lonesome playground calls young girl swings in joy safe haven from storms of home teardrops in her eyes i smile at childhood’s ghost who grew up far too soon
