Lunar Possession


Vociferous stranger, vacant you swoon
Dispersing anathemas with each step
Whence meters find their distant promenade

Benumbed sentry traipsing beneath grey moons
With the countenance of dark secrets kept
As rays lower upon your unmarked grave

The furtive glance secretes visions of ruin
As spindrifts thrash forth their echoic stet
Forever haunting the taciturn stave

Hunger asphyxiates the sated tune
While the parched arrhythmia slowly wept
For the heart knows what the enemy craves

The boy shook, as the thirsting neon crept
Whereas a mother’s love, prayed while he slept
  
 Over at D'Verse, Sam presents us a unique twist to the sonnet form for this week's Formforall, something he calls the Trireme Sonnet.  It was certainly fun putting this piece together, think I wound up deviating from the pentameter a bit in places, but other than that, followed the 10 syllable, ABC-ABC-ABC-ABC-(Choice of AA, BB, or CC Heroic Couplet).  I definitely recommend you check out his article and see what the poets of D'Verse came up with. Cheers!
