Oh! Sing to me my sweet nightingale
Melodies from distant mountains
Refrains from yonder hill tops
Harmonies from the plains
Rhythms of the seas
Lull me to sleep
Nightingale
With your
Song

Today's Haiku
Haiku Heights April A to Z: Nightingale
Nightingale sings
Many sweet lullabies
Dreaming on clouds
Carpe Diem: Small Mountain
Small mountains rise
From reddened thirsty plains
Seeking rain clouds
Thanks for letting me know about nonet ... interesting :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done poems, I especially like the nonet and how smoothly it flowed. So often such restrictions make a poem feel forced, and yours didn't. It was very nice!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could hear those lullabies!
