El Sonnet!


Might you be seen in dreams that strike deep fear So now I take what peace I see in me To heal what pain may be inside of thee. As this wretched thing fights to see and hear. From in my heart to outside where you know What hate can do to everything in life To turn it upside-down and fill with strife And kill this mockingbird that I will show No longer can sing life from deep in throat. Once when they lived upon the seven seas, The men did sow a seep as deep to freeze As they did laugh and spite its lovely note. Now I cannot believe that you are sweet For through this sonnet I become too meek. Josh McWhirter
