LIGHT (a Rhyku)

filters through tired wrinkled leaves
casting dappled shadows on the duff
which tremble with each passing breeze

Hi Eddie
Failing trying something new, I even invent things now and then. So far have tried Metered rhyme, free verse, sonnet, Haiku, Prose, Poetic prose, Concrete, Acrostic and invented Parallel, Rhyku and Morphing. Must be jack of all trades and master of none lol.Thanks for the kind comment.............stan

Rosi and Lonnie have said before me of what i would have also said...i will add...it runs as smooth as a nicely blended scotch....
thanks for elaborating on what a Rhyku is..i had never heard of this before..i would surely like to have a go at it...are you sure that "none should be longer than seven word? or should it be syllables?...

hi raj
I am glad you like this. And the word count per line is no more than seven. When I came up with this I wanted count to not depend upon how a word might be pronounced differently such as evening...is it 3 syllables or two? In Rhyku it doesn't matter, it's one word. I hope you Do try this out............stan
