A Simplistic Sonnet

A healthy dose of poetical prose

sprinkled like rose petals on silken sheets,

pulls the eye across elliptical rows

to that place where language and story meets.

Should your own voice seek that lyrical style

that frames beauty wherever you want it;

with candle lit, you may sit and beguiled

by the master of both script and sonnet.

There awaits a teacher with lessons nigh

brooding silent on literature’s shelf;

craving the twinkle in a lover’s eye;

to guide you through your inspection of self.

So, hark! Ye scribes whose musings will not fly,

read Shakespeare and learn to lift them on high!
