Try, Try Again

Sometimes silence
Sometimes a groan
Sometimes nonsense
I should disown
They all can’t be
winners, you see
But I still try

10 February 2022 marks three years for me posting ha’sonnets here, with this being the 318th I’ve posted. So, yay me! I wonder how much longer I’ll be able to keep it going.

Hey! My daughter Bee has an Etsy site for “Hand sewn decorative items” – RaccoonStitches! Please check it out!

Not a Haiku

I try to write
in other forms
Stay up at night
braining some storms
But I get this -
these bits of bliss
my mind unwinds

The Sonnet’s Joy

The measured lines
and rhythmic beats
become like mines
souring the sweets
So be impressed
when poets wrest
a timed-beat rhyme
