Keola: Sonnet - SHM

"Most people would sooner die than think, in fact, they do," ... Bertrand Russell (Quote hidden within the Sonnet in Italics) Sonnet: Most of the time when I'm under the sun, ought not to watch nor pass by on people, befuddled about clock-glued eyes outrun, a zenith star would climb o'er the steeple. Sooner all will suspect that life's too brief, plus, die surrounds confidence merits life. I've improved rather than grasp my belief, and think I got the choice result *fehl strife. Confuse not in the consequence head-on, direct my route, let that star point beyond, a scale that exacts stealthily who's drawn, bargain heightened the fact I did respond. I discovered they who do take time, plans to firmly coil, so to turn the clock's hands. Haiku: time when life's too brief surrounds confidence improved choice direct star point Monoku: beyond drawn fact discovered who do take time ~~ plans to turn the clock's hands *fehl: fault; flaw; failure

Thanks much, Silent One. Been a bit busy, tho families gone, just other matters pressed await answers--a ponderance of, and sorts, much ado. The Songs, your words shed light. I wrote a piece, not sonnet form, that lulls soothingly, drifting back to it and feeling its vibes to calm from the gibberish of law. Thanks again, my friend. Aloha, William
