This entry was probably the result of Robert Lindley's blog on Sonnet's.
Would you, with me, traverse an unlined field
deny the jagged edge of distant peak
stroll lazily amid protected calm
or listen as the ragged mountains speak.
For some find solace in the chasms depth
cling tightly to the icy broken ridge
while others look within holding their breath
in passage cross the swaying “volta” bridge.
While I respond to ever present winds
a call to fledgling feathers to ascend
to tease distant horizons broken lines
unwary of the dangers they portend.
And yet the pen will falter in its quest
for form and function will decide what’s best.
