Gail Foster Poet Sonnet

Hello Kitty Man - a Surreptitious Sonnet For Surreptitious Sonnet Day

Once upon a time there was a man
Who had a life so boring no-one knew
That he was there, and nothing fun to do
But work a bit and drive a little van
And buy a Subway and a cheeky can
Of Redbull, or in summer sometimes two
Around and round the motorway he flew
Another almost was, and also ran

Or so it seemed. At sunset he would change
Into his costume and go up the street
And hide behind a lamppost. Oh how sweet
It felt, how surreptitious and how strange
They called him Hello Kitty Man. Hey, Hi!
They'd say, and oh so quickly walk on by

Andrea Dietrich August 3, 2022 at 5:21 PM very cool, and I see YOU understand meter too!! I have written so many sonnets. I bet you have done that also. It's a wonderful form for any theme whatsoever.
