Notes About The Poem

Another Pseudo-Sonnet.  Not quite a Sonnet, not quite not.

The Sonnets Plight

Alas the Sonnet’s plight is love’s
unending supplication
beseeching it to beautify
its fleeting, heartfelt notion

Implore the reader to take sides
in passion’s conflagration
knowing well the end result
self centered adulation

will quickly dry the lover’s tears
in mirrored duplication
a dance alone in memory
of escapes anticipation

Thus from the flames, a Phoenix rise,
for love is born before love dies
