Adeyemi Joshua Poet Sonnet

Reserata Carcerem Lxii

Went a shrewd shaver t' moaning monk
ñ a dark day's hurled hay tactic ton.
''f felon feast b' a callous cod thrown,
sate h', robed 'n  gaunt grief, girdle ''f gloom 'n' throe.

"Go to, why wrapped in throbbing thoughts?
Why thy instinct with jeff joy fought?
Anon come a nocturnal nymph
t' bruise his breath - gullible gores t' dig."

Ergo rerouted moaning monk
gaunt grief, throbbing throe 'n' callous con.
"Send not this sinner's breath astray.
Address the nymph, I'll return t' pray."

Whence, quit moaning monk his  voyage;
Sly shaver tamed his keen knowledge.
       '20:07:31:20:41
