Ann Rich Poet Sonnet

Bye-Gone

Shhhhhhh, I say to you!
Your breath I take away.
Your heart I make stray.
Your life I will make do.

Hush! My word I shew!
Your meaning will fray.
Your purpose will slay.
Your will ends as anew.
 
Listen up and listen here!
Hear ye oh hear me now!
I shall not just disappear.
Here and now, I am how.

Let a bye-gone be a bye-gone. 
And move yourself right along!
