You still expect more running after all works
Seeking for freedom at random to be castoff
You become aliens ruthless mindful of gifts
You care not about blood, the urge for justice
A mask on your eyes and face you wear giving
Nothing to ALL but to selves. You aren’t keen
on making a nation, advantages you crave for
You merely send ill-reports and help to deport
Souls confine wills upraise and preserve lions
I aren’t afraid of you. Let them know that I’m
Aware of your dangerous games. I surpassed
The “I” and I have become “You” and “We”
Yeah, let them not doubt about my fight for
FREEDOM and my faith in the human race.

Its sun is brilliant bright and bonny bold,
a lustrous light, largesse in satin sheen.
Intake of breath sensory manifold,
for a warm, welcoming autumnal scene.
Aurora-colored leaves paint the timber
where mountaintops all dress in ermine capes.
Watch crimson clover wave its arms limber
and mighty pines show off their slender shapes.
Delight in unique season's sights and smells,
wintersweet, artic polemonium.
Rejoice in grandeur of the season's spells.
It’s all pumpkin spice pandemonium.
For all God's tireless efforts let us praise
with appreciative heart and voice upraise.

In solitude I find silence, in silence I find my voice
In my voice there is song, in my song there is praise
My words near flawless, my ardent aria is Rejoice!
In pneuma I find solace, in solace I upraise
In upraising I see Christ, in Christ I see salvation
My servitude near flawless, my sins abrase
In my heart I have joy, in joy I have jubilation
In jubilation I feel triumph, in triumph I am victorious
My victory near flawless, my fear is not damnation
In reality I am imperfect, in imperfection I am inglorious
My willingness near flawless, my transformation glorious

Gentility of dove alight and gift
me with your divine insight.
As sister moon in nimbus haze,
her rolling tides do my soul upraise.
In perpetuity I do pray this night
for visions, guidance from the light.
In nature’s sweet kiss and caress
enlighten me and give solace.

I
the fire
the water,
and
nature...
what's in her?
air,
the earth--
we create;
we
upraise,
we destroy.
she's
reborn
every spring
why
do I
have to die?

We partake of a sonnet, it soars, it amazes
It can take us on flights that inspire, upraise us
A great sonnet's romantic and beauteous, you see
It is written by Shelley or Donne, not by Stooges, the Three
Lovely damsels, brave heroes ignite our true passion
We all thrill to their exploits, as villains they smash in
The pure rhyme, the bold reason, will cause us to swoon
As we sip lemonade from a straw in a hammock in June...
What is wrong with this portrait, you ask -- innocent
It's idyllic and charming, for sure Heaven-sent
Wings of angels are beating in time to its rhyme
A melodious Harmony, Syncopated in time
Well, I'm sorry to tell you the news, so sit down
~ There are no sonnets on Facebook, C'mon!

"Sonnet" - whose last couplet does not actually rhyme
and is rather disrespectful to the hallowed form, at best

Shuttling beyond the lay
Of the land that may
End at the water,
Splash and fish, tide and otter.
War birds knocking stars from Heaven,
Wolf packs moving, six or seven
Or eight, the modern metabolic rate,
Society redeems the weight of hate.
Reversions to no merry mean,
We wash to make the world unclean,
We wash to upraise our station,
We wash to conclude causation.
Taking my place within the past,
An epic form of gratification,
I won't outlast, the die is cast,
So let's get on with vilification.
Bright sunny days, untrammeled ways or
Other poets' words so light,
Yet I shift and stray, I make the play for
The coming armies of the night.

Wheel of fears and cheers etched tears in my years
swirling me to rumination that queers.
Lessons, I learned streak golden souvenirs
enlightening me in every frontiers.
Imprudent dusts blurred and hardened my heart,
tears on the wind rescued fiercely aghast
allowing me to behold rainbow skirt...
Firing my bravery ever not hush!
Onions in my eyes upraise bitterness,
drained my strength awhile, but without delay
same tears uphold me to deliverance
encompassing to each dawn - twilight lay.
Tears on the wind, my soulful song prayer.
Amazing grace revealed through all dried tears.
Tears - a heaven rain for my whole new birth
bathing my heart and soul wholly with mirth.
