dreaming songs gather like piled clouds
growing stronger
lightning
comes
inspiration
striking
hums
i sing my song
music

Commentary

Saw this “Zeno” poem from Sheri Jacobs and decided to give it a whirl, The form uses the following rules:

1. each line needs a certain number of syllables: 8421421421
2. The one syllable lines must rhyme

That’s it! Have fun!!!
