Golden Eye in Sky

by Treischel



Once glimpsed a marvelous sunset.
A golden eye
Had glow to seem at first beget
A candy sky,
With caramel-like colored clouds
That drifted by to please the crowds.
How lucky they all were to spy
A golden eye.

For such a sight, let's not forget,
That words apply
To such a colorful vignette
That floats on by
To peak the curiosity
And render thoughts of poetry
When troubadours identify
A golden eye.

This is a sunset I captured one evening. I thought that the sun looked like an eye. It got me waxing poetically.

This poem is an Octogram.
The Octogram is a style of poetry invented by Fanstorian Sally Yocom (S.Yocom). It consists of two stanzas of eight lines each, with a very specific syllable count and rhyme scheme.

Rhyme scheme: aBabccbB ababddbB, where B repeats same text. No more than 16 lines. Strict iambic meter on all lines.
