bright moonlight stillness
suspends, distorts silhouettes
April night opus

moonlight's round glass eye
sees us framed, velvet abyss
spring's white petals glow

Waiting to hear the crack of the bat
hitting that hardball's wrap
flying off and dying right
into foul, drawn-out, Ohhh... mouths
of the crowd, over infield shouts
encouraging fielder's route
to catch the airy out
remove all doubt
showing clout
blowout
No hitter!

Today we’d like to challenge you to try writing a poem of your own that uses rhyme, but without adhering to specific line lengths. For extra credit, reference a very specific sound, like the buoy in Hillyer’s poem

As you guzzle this Ghazal
remember to take a radif breath

Drink poet's nectar in moderation
imbibing words with radif breath

There is conjuring in fermenting brews
aging over time's radif breath

Leisurely savor poet's infusion
relaxed and composed with a radif breath

**the same word or phrase (the radif)
challenge: write a  ghazal that takes the form of a love song – however you want to define that. Observe the conventions of the repeated word, including your own name (or a reference to yourself) and having the stanzas present independent thoughts along a single theme – a meditation, not a story.

So imperfect is us
want to puke in, outs
Us do opposite things
Is big crime normal earth
We elect "Orange Cheeto" president
chronic cronies guaranteed corrupt
lose your money six day to Sunday
market crash make sad-happy
Send wakey people to poison prison
pardon poisoned prisoners free
We hate, hate, hate, like

Astronauts drink it,
makes their stomachs
gurgle.
Nothing is sacred
with industrial food
chemistry, irreverent;
betraying nutrition,
nature and the honest
taste bud.
The scent of orange
is no counterfeit to itself,
its taste is Jupiter squeezed!

Challenge :   Oranges Gurgle Irreverent
write a poem using these words to describe the taste of Orange
