Uphill

Hazy skies, clouded vision
can’t stop me chasing the Sun
It seems like eternity
when truth was appreciated
honesty not decimated-
the world hydrated, not thirsty.

So uppity, but transparent
battles are not a deterrent
Ethics- Majestic in strife
trudges along hilly terrains
on a drive that looks insane
-uncorrupted core of life

Conflicts rife, but strong belief
No relief on edge of knife

Jeffreys Sonnet

A Jeffreys Sonnet was created by Scott J. Alcorn. It is isosyllabic (only 8 syllable per line), 2 sestets with a cross rhymed couplet (the cross rhyme is in the 2nd to 4th syllable in each of the two lines of the couplet). Also there is a cross rhyme in the first line of the 2nd sestet (between the 2nd to 4th syllable), tying the 1st sestet to the 2nd. So the rhyme scheme would be: aabccb, (b)ddeffe, (e)g (g)e. The letters in ( ) are the cross rhymes.
