Nonsense In Sonnet Form

Submitted by Keith Logan on Thu, 2016-10-13 16:44

Oh that in truth I might report to thee
a love that swells and rages like the sea.
Forsooth I state this missive as a plea,
that thou not turn thy face away from me.

A noble spirit takes not any glee
in knowing that within it holds a key;
this wounded heart can never now be free
excepting by the words of thy decree.

Oh let it be, that I from thee might flee
not like a bee, that darts beneath a tree
too blind to see, who bends upon one knee
to pay his fee; annoying little flea!

My ramble run, the end is all agley,
mayhap I should inquire dost thou agree?

A very good write and a bit funny, now a challenge to you as I have done to Loved to write a piece called "Changes".
Away from your normal way of writing,
Changes in anything you wish as in your life there must have been many, and you must have witnessed more just need an interaction between the poets here.
Take care out there, I shall put no sugar in the tea when we meet out there you are invited to my cave, as are many others, when day is done and we need a rest.
Yours Ian..

r u going in for a sex change
at this age less testosterone's all know
first half man is man
second half he becomes a woman
all hair has fallen

so is it with women
first they are sweet smelling
soft the when passed meno -what
they grow moustaches
kick and growl
every thing in life is not a foul
woman in second half take over as man
you know IAN
a once upon a time man
hopefully you will so be
as long as you can

should I post it
it's different no?
