The Otters Play

English Sonnet Along the walk the suits and sneakers stroll, so many faceless smiles that tell a lie and don't reveal the true and costly toll, instead with righteous glare they will deny. We walked one time along this very shore to skip a stone and watch the otters play and vowed not to become what we abhorred - a knight and a sweet damsel we would stay. But that was all so very long ago so as a storm blows in from o're the pond, and suits hide safe behind their parasols, it's for the simpler times I truly long. Just like the otters we will splash and dive and naked in the rain we will survive.
