I enjoy smuggling rhymes into blank verse but have not yet gotten all 3 lines of a haiku I really like to rhyme. My response to Carpe Diem #932 silk tree is a pair of all-new haiku. I do like the one with a couplet. The one with a triplet (plus an internal rhyme in the title at no extra charge) is submitted in the spirit of Abraham Lincoln’s corny jokes during the American Civil War: I laugh so that I will not cry.
Sound of Sunlight
Rushing waters bring
joy to those who hear them sing
and see them sparkle.
Silly Rhymes for Scary Times
A rhyme in blank verse?
President Trump would be worse.
Vote Dem or you’ll curse.
