Stillness rules the roost,
Daylight burgeons,
No leaf moves,
Children
Sleep!
Gulls
Chatter
On Rooftops,
Noise Discordant
Wakes whole Neighbourhood!

Note: My own innovation…..not sure what to call the format! Looks like an hourglass….hence what I call it…for now.
What an amazing image….and the words superb. Janet. xx

Love the innovation and the name!!! I never have been able to write in any format because rules just make it that much more difficult for me… But your ease with words is amazing!! Lots of love Bushka 🙂

I love the turn in the middle and how the poem works back out to where it started but with everything in reverse–like they are mirror images of each other. Very cool.
