Autumn's Beckoning Pathways
A Dorsimbra: The Dorsimbra exists to make the poet demonstrate skill across three contrasting styles -- formal meter, free verse, and blank verse while still producing a poem that feels whole. It must have exactly 12 lines, arranged as three quatrains 1) a quatrain of iambic pentameter rhyming abab 2) a quatrain of "short and snappy" free verse, and 3) a quatrain of blank verse (unrhymed iambic pentameter). The final (12th) line is the same as the first line.

April Ghost Garden
A Minute Poem. Daffodil ghost gardens are abandoned or untended gardens where daffodils continue to bloom year after year, marking the sites of former homes or homesteads. A daffodil ghost garden refers to a location where daffodils grow and bloom despite the absence of the original garden caretakers or structures. These gardens are often found in remote or wild areas, and the flowers persist naturally due to the hardy, perennial nature of daffodils, which can self-clone and survive harsh conditions without human intervention. The term "ghost" reflects the vanished human presence, leaving only the flowers as a living memory of past inhabitants. (https://theforgottensouth.com/daffodil-history-ghost-gardens/).
