Our love for the search is desperate, mad
We must get over our amnesia
Hunting and gathering are all we’ve had
“Shopping,” “questing,” “searching”—pure poesia
For career, for mate, for food, for clothing
For ideology, faction, party
For identity, purpose, meaning
Each Sherlock for a fit Moriarty
We are gathering fun ways of hunting
Mere survival has always been our goal
Sure, we are all adept at pretending
That it’s an orifice, not just a hole
It is safe to drop the old camouflage
Other stories are mostly a mirage

Wooahhh the last line was deep! Nicely done DJ! 💓
That Moriarty line, brilliant! "Orifice not just a hole".
Enjoyed your sonnet. I agree with Dharr that this line is a personal fav: "Each Sherlock for a fit Moriarty". Thoughtful and thought-provoking piece.

lovely poem sonnet.
I was expecting sonnets of glee with the mighty Oilers' triumph. Always thought provoking.
"Each Sherlock for a fit Moriarty". That line was brilliant! Loved your sonnet!
Love the pictures, and the words and the sentiment
