Sonnet VII


Sonnet VII
There’s an expectation of a writer
That even in her weakness she be strong.
That her darkness will somehow be lighter
And her musings won’t take so very long.
I know that you expect optimism
And a truth that won’t break your tiny bank.
My insight won’t be a solipcism
And I am not trying your chain to yank.
Now this part of the Sonnet must unveil
The opposite of all I’ve said above
Without biting it’s own fictional tail
And convince readers that it’s meant with love.
And somehow make you think I have a point
That will open our eyes and rise above
Some rapping G girl’s sad-assed busted joint.
So it is with relief we limp to the end
bend fend lend mend pend send tend vend  and wend!

    and hup to, to write with conviction. Whatever it
    takes to express oneself is allowed ...

  4. LeeLee I think I have been Rumi'd to death on Facebook. Sometimes the mood feels blue and black and not all yellow and sunshiney. Somewhere in the sonnet is my feeling of the burden of expectations. I usually write out all the rhyming words in a row to pick one, but since I had 9 it was liberating to just use the. I have got to get more abstract to get more real.
