I had to try out this format so here I am. Hope you enjoy it. Thank you Tim(aka Gileson). I am borrowing your explanation of the format.

Mine Eyes
Dream in peace
Cozy my heart
As tranquility flows, into our world.
Sleeps a child, cuddly soft, awakening
heavens around,
Bliss is mine
As I
Sleep.

Wonderful in all aspects. Technically perfect .. perfectly written ... a topic near and dear to us all.
Did you find the structure to be difficult, moderately challenging or easy?

Thank you Tim..:) It was moderately challenging, especially since I had to stop my verbose tendency and stick with a limit to deliver meaning.
Thank you Cinnamon, Virginia, Ladycallie, Danette and Belita. You got the idea of Calm and Restfulness that I wanted to convey.
If you look up "verbose" in your Funk and Wagnals, no doubt my photo is right next to it. It is amazing how much you can say 8 or 10 syllables at a time if you really put your mind to it. Congratulations on a job exceedingly well done!
Aha! found another format new to me! And great writing within the form. Thank you!
Your words and the style really fit together nicely, cool poem.
