Shrineetee Kar Poet Sonnet

Let Go

Here I let go a wish again
Here I lose one more bargain

Was ready to start early at the dawn
Would have accepted a game drawn
Was instead handed a routing defeat
Call it a harakiri or a rival's feat

Never aimed as high as sky
Anyway didn't have wings to fly
Never aspired to be the brightest swan
Ended up being a favorite pawn

Time still has been good to me
Always had a few moments free
Life of me, didn't demand too much
I too have been abstinent just as much
