Andrea Dietrich Poet Sonnet

Unshackle My Verse

Dear Poets: A Sonnet Call to Arms

The law we fought so hard against has passed.
They say our poems we cannot write again.
We must rebel. Absurdity can’t last!
How dare they rob us of the right to pen
those thoughts and feelings we’re compelled to write.
We’ll meet in secret; there we shall devise
our plan to save what is our hearts’ delight,
for passion is the glue that unifies
us all! Our friends and neighbors we can sway
to join the fight, for without poetry
all freedom of expression goes away!
God gave us words to help make people see!
This law must change, and though the fight be long,
united, we are strong; we’ll right this wrong!

Emile Pinet April 12, 2017 at 9:48 AM Your word choice is good and the message sent is strong and emotional. A very human touch to this poem with an easily understandable story with some zip to it. Emile.
