P.S. Awtry Poet Sonnet

Once Upon a Sonnet

sitting here at my computer I stare
at blinking cursor a page black and white
to create for you a sonnet most rare
a poem that must be written just right

this task must be undertaken with care
afraid I may be awake through the night
counting my syllables lost in despair
wondering how long til morning’s first light

please dear reader read this and weep for me
weep that I would deem worthy such a quest
hoping that someone might read this and see
that I rose to this great challenge to be

one who endeavored to finish the test
this fourteenth line I now end with long e
