If April Was A Pretty Girl

Do NOT begin.

 

 

(sonnet #dunno)

 

 

Now blackbirds call with sheer seduction, whence

The grass is green and mown of late, detail

What? For Josiah's GONE. What have I? Frail

From losing him, and work hours I need hence,

Yet which are madly 'rranged to leave defense

Upon its ear, I'm crumbling without bail

Erm by the very hour. Naught can avail

Me, nor should I have trusted in pretense.

All's clearly budding, yet I'm stranded, poor

And fragile as erst wont, dreams perished through

The loss of him, and time's sheer wastes. Bestir

Naught, but tis empty, mocking me anew.

How silver puddles wait and shiver. Were

There place for me, that's oer. LORD, I wait You.
