Fear not the poet’s cryptic form or rhyme.
Category: Sonnets
It’s funny, I put the word “Sonnet” in the title, and automatically fewer people view/read it, like it’s going to be some sort of “academic” chore to even click the link. It’s unfortunate, because while these are among some of my least read stuff, I am easily most proud of many of these. It’s a wonderful form, and I think I keep getting better at it.

Gazing the navel will skew what is true.

but wisdom wields a pain that burns like fire
Sonnet XIV – Close to the Wind
a proud sight beheld, from stern to the prow.
Sonnet XIII – “Alexa, Dim the Lights”
When given option One or Two – try Three.
Sonnet XII – the dying of the light

/ Paint with the Rainbow, Life will come at last.
Sonnet III – What Was and Ne’er Will Be
the door before me bids me walk on through, but pieces – grief and anger – won’t allow.
Sonnet II – hope’s lament
I fear that I shall never live to see / a world that’s lived the way her God designed
Sonnet I – I chose to walk
The shoes, while fitting poorly, won me praise, but winning praise becomes a daily chore
