Sonnet

So short a song it’s with six, after eight, lines to settle strife - lovers’ sighs… Stresses follow unstressed syllables, and rhyming smoothly runs, with final short tail, wrapping the tale. *A 1st Place* in the following contest (judged on Oct. 28, 2020) Oct. 21, 2020 Pleiades 3 Poetry Contest Contest Sponsor: Joseph May Syllabic count: 6 syllables in each line
