06/21/25 A New Haiku Sonnet for a New Day

Lush streams flow water
Down the side of the hill to
The creek far below

Covered with green plants
And flowers as it curves through
The valley it formed

It almost wants to
Be beautiful, except it
Is littered by trash

The urban build squelches the
Beauty of the land itself

(This is a haiku sonnet, three haikus and then two final lines to make up a type of sonnet.)

Blast from the Past:

The once vibrant marsh
Polluted by trains, lanes, and
Industrial sludge
