Shizuku-7 is a new poetic form I created. It consists of 7 lines, with each line having a decreased syllable count. From 7 to 1. It must also contain a natural or seasonal element. Here is a link to a Free chapbook about my poetic form, Shizuku-7, with poems: ko-fi.com/s/dda1b17c7c

Silver Sea
Sea shares similar senses with the shore
Since they smell sharp and sweet
See how sprucely seagulls can soar
Softly wrapped, silky, scented sheets
Soothing waves smooth like silver
Submerged by scenery
See the sunlit surface shimmer
Sea showers me with sincerity.

I’ve let anxiety run my life the past 10 years… I think it’s about time I take it back.

She bends
but never breaks,
ever immense
and full of grace,
the willow knows
her rooted place.

You opened your arms
To break my spine
What should've been a hug
Was nothing but a lie

Nature's golden treasure
Gently fall onto earth
Through the drizzled weather
Gratefully observed
Autumn dresses up
To whisper its name
Echoing into the sun
Before parting ways.

Moon snuck out, for company.
I forget how to breathe
My vision blurs reality
Shivers sent down my spine
I'm ready for death to dine
I can't think most of the time
When you barge into my mind
