I just discovered a poetic style called the haiku sonnet. It is comprised of four haiku followed by a couplet of either five or seven syllables. Let's give it a try. Please tag me!

Suffocating

There are not enough

Tears in my ducts to undo

The rush'd loss of us--

Not enough octaves

To cover the hollow staves

Taunting my raw tongue.

The air is wanting

And my gasps find no purchase

In the low-hung clouds.

The sky is vaunting--

Baring down on me again--

Vast, loud, and unkind.

Is this what it means

To drown on dry land?
