Envelope
Negligible
Resent
Abysm---Sonnet
Beyond cure, I am irrational to past care,
envelopes of tomes hide heart's history.
Concocting negligible style every where
providing with tales of untold misery
I stay reproached, fixated to my content.
in philosophical abysm, I hurl all care,
no real excuses for all that I truly resent-
lone moments have crinkles engraved there.
Has nature too joined in to distress me-
notably uncaring every thing that grows
from those festers of agony that no can see;
nevertheless insisting we must not be foes.
Is it viable to put up with it that way-
so all thrive, I am yet again cast away?
Sometimes you simple amaze me with your shear brilliance
ReplyDeleteNow who else could have written a poem about abysm? You are a word warrior Gautami.

ReplyDeleteyou really excel at sonnets.
ReplyDeletewhat feelings!
i love the fullness of your word choices...i'm so glad i discovered great writers like you through 3ww.
ReplyDeleteTruly leaves much to ponder
ReplyDeleteThis is soooo good. And to think I'd never have read it if it weren't for 3WW. You have a gift with words.
ReplyDeleteanother wonderful poem -- no, I haven't given up on my attempt to write a sonnet -- some day it will finish. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm envious of sonnet writers and yours was excellent.
ReplyDeleteno real excuses for all that I truly resent-
ReplyDeleteThis line got me.
I think this is true for most of us: why do we resent what we do? There aren't excuses for it... it just is.
Well, TC stole my comment. That was my favorite line, too.
ReplyDeleteI tried a poem this week, as well.
A few lines really hit home with me, " I hurl all care " and " festers of agony that no can see." This is a great poetic use of the words.
ReplyDeleteYou truly did this well.
ReplyDeleteok so one disadvanage of being late on yours...Gay and TC totally nailed it! I agree with them! wow. always amazing!
