I used to be, how would you say… a maple tree! On a spring day! Sweet syrup sap dripped from the tap… Now, I’m a lime.

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

Peak Performance
I reached the top
but through my pride
know I can’t stop
the downhill slide
that must come next
So now perplexed
my feat’s less sweet
