Nelson Diaz Poet Sonnet

Down Many Traveled Lanes: Sonnet

Down many traveled lanes I sauntered sadly,

Up avenues I’ve trampled more than twice.

I've slipped and in prostration cried out badly

for anyone to blare their soft advice.

-

“Reverberate!” I thought in paths I’d fathered.

Illuminate my present gifts of chance,

these shreds of life that I have never gathered,

the times I’ve shunned the elegance of dance.

-

In simple furtherance of all my sorrow,

I gathered all my hunches to my chest,

and borrowed all the blame that I could borrow,

and never tried a virgin to molest,

until the light of millions of tomorrows

could pave my path and put me to my rest.
