Sandra Haight Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

Inward Reflections

Yes, introspection- a soul-searching quest;
   deep self-analysis explored throughout.
      Sincere reflection, which gets put to test;
discovered, judged- may sometimes offer doubt.

Of virtues found, lamentable or grand,
   this self-examination's tough to do;
      perhaps because conclusions will demand
we must amend the faults that come to view.

With deep perusal- reckoning may show
   inequities of self- down deep inside;
      and so, addressed or not- we'll truly know
the weaknesses and strengths that coincide.

But, sweeping out the darkness, lessens strife;
     casts light upon more happiness in life.
