Is Reality Real

Outside My Sleeping Room

A Halloween haiku sonnet

Image created using Bing Image Creator and edited in Canva

scritching and scratching scraping on my windowpane angry insistence

tingling and jangling unbearable night noises up and down my spine

screeching and howling revenant shrieks and bellows harsh cacophony

ear-splitting ruckus right outside my sleeping room I dive ‘neath my sheets

suddenly, the noise ceases replaced by a shy meow

The basic premise of the haiku sonnet is simple: 4 3-liner haiku plus a couplet of either 5 or 7 syllables adds up to 14 lines, the same number of lines found in a sonnet. Robert Lee Brewer in Writer’s Digest
