A Ha'Sonnet Will Do
Don’t be afraid
my little dear
of the sharp blade
Mommy is here
Alive or dead
you’re beloved
and free with me

This prompt was “Beloved” by Toni Morrison.
Give me my bone!
A spooky tale
of ghostly moan
and lady frail
Read as a child
Thought it was wild
Best bit? TAKE IT!

I had to choose
what I should do
or I would lose
more than a few
Time had run out
so despite doubts
I quickly picked
