NPM 2025 - Poem 24

For National Poetry Month this year, I am writing poems in uncommon, unusual, or inventive poetic forms. The only rule I have set for myself is that I choose forms I am unfamiliar with. Here are some of the resources I am referencing. 

Today, I'm sharing an haiku sonnet.
A haiku sonnet combines the syllable count and three-line stanzaic structure of the English haiku with the fourteen-line structure of the sonnet. You can learn more about the form at Writer's Digest.

blank page waits in still
silent echoes of ideas
ink's journey begins

words flow like a stream,
carving paths through paper's edge
stories start to breathe

passion guides the hand
whispers turn to vibrant scenes
life in every line

characters take shape
worlds unfold in quiet scribe
imagination's flight

crafting dreams with every word
endless tales yet to be heard

I hope you come back tomorrow to see what new poetic form I've chosen. You can also read the other poems I've written this month.
