Sonnet #3

Oh, what oak! I exclaim fiercely to a door;

Made of maple I can only hope I wasn't seen;

Director's cut would have me pour my guts like Saw, before;

Revisit every line I wrote in hopes to not repeat;

Some doors are revolving, open one way, even sliding

Scattered thoughts laying bare naked within sheets;

In hopes, I think to open you I'd wrap around like Ivy;

My touch alone is poison so I dare not try to squeeze;

Gentle pressure, gentle giant, gentle is your way;

Some would tend to be stronger than they seem to be;

Simple pleasures, simple giant, simple starts the play;

Paddles aren't needed when you're playing in the creek;

Driftwood tends to bring a certain beam;

In the daytime, driftwood dreams

About the Creator

Dan-O Vizzini

Has anyone else just been making it up as they go along? Have you gotten so far from where you started that finding your way back seems impossible?

Well— reach.

Power when exercised properly is a beautiful thing.
