Chic

Around the park take a peek

Dachshund, collie, and a peke

Glossy furred, stand at their peak

How dog shows can interest pique!

Peke is a short form for the Pekingese dog.

Cair Aureate

Air clear and bright this day my only heir

Dear look to the forest where run the deer

Pair by pair under golden hanging pear

Hear finches warble flying there and here

Hares fleet footed dart between maidenhairs

New kittens mewl learning what mothers knew

Bare bone facts for adventures they will bear

Flue warmth; spoken softness; where phoenix flew

Cair Aureate’s wealth all this; soon thy care

Peer well from castle to watery pier

Fair sights and sounds all come with the same fare

Tears or joy come walking its many tiers

Blue skies or gray I bore each way the wind blew

To face each wind stalwart is thy task too

Maidenhair is a kind of fern.

"Cair Aureate" is a Shadow Sonnet. In this sonnet form the first and last word of each line are the same or homophonic.
