A Ha'Sonnet Will Do
Somebody that
I used to know
stopped by to chat
'Twas awkward though
For I could see
for them and me
the past had passed

So now that I’ve put the Gotye song in your head, so here is the video for you to enjoy!
But I actually heard it first seeing this great cover video by Walk Off The Earth.

There comes a time
to go to bed
when there’s a rhyme
stuck in my head
that feels it must
be free, though just
somehow not now

Thanks to Susi Bocks at I Write Her for pointing out today, 21 March, is World Poetry Day in her “Celebrate Your Passion” post! I didn’t realize that when I posted my poem above. Why not take the time today to discover new poets, read poetry you love, or write something just because!
The blooms of Spring
started their show
Colors that sing
Petals that glow
Though they’re pretty
they remind me
how yard work’s hard
