Challenge
I'm curious to try out poetic form called doha. It is Hindi in origin and a self-contained (rhyming?) couplet, traditionally spiritual or sensual in nature. Each line is 24 syllables w/ a caesura (break) in between the first 13 syllables and the last 11 syllables. I THINK there's no limit to number of couplets. Confused enough yet? I know I am, so I'd love to see what cleverness Prosers come up with. Let's call it a #loosedoha. Pixie points for anyone who can do a sortha (inverted doha).
Visionaries
Your head is filled with the dreams of tomorrow
Never once resting on the time you spend here today
You look past the shining stars and the planets
To find your destiny out beyond the endless way
Where do I fit in the plans for your future
Can I ever become a part of your grand vision
I feel so lonely left here in the darkness
Return so we can seal, in life, our love's decision
