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!

o l d e r n o t w i s e r

our hearts were so young

he taught me about the world

and i taught him love

he hauled a briefcase

to wall street while i slung a

backpack on my arm

hearts filled with desire

and lust, oh it was so real

when he slept by me

but the school bells rang

loud, and the economy dipped

beckoning for him

now his child lost her first tooth

and i fuck men twice my youth
