Robert Pettit Poet Sonnet

My Friend's Woman

This little woman I cannot resist.
Each day, she looks so attractive to me.
She made it to number one on my list.
She is as beautiful as one can be.
How can a woman have so much beauty?
Believe me, that girl is the living end.
If you miss her, you are too blind to see.
The trouble is, she belongs to my friend.

I have a love note that I want to send.
How can I ever get her attention?
I want to stay on good terms with my friend.
Thinking of that causes apprehension.
A friend or a lover, what is worth more?
This is strange territory I explore.
