With its ten gangly legs and five long feet,
it hobbles the cobbles - a diddle-dee-dum;
pedals the rhythm of a Roman street,
travels to Britain - a fiddling strum;
.
espouses rules but allows them broken;
copes with rejection and hopes of the heart;
in moments of need it's quite outspoken;
a smitten attachment to Cupid's dart.
.
Many a muse has become its focus;
blushed at the poet's devotional praise.
In love sings the rose, in Spring sings the crocus.
In time comes a couplet, as sentence or phrase.
.
Lovers of the word think more upon it,
through chapter and verse ... none beats the sonnet.

A first impression has a lasting effect - it makes a notable difference. In a subtle way that’s who I am as a poet. A ‘first impression’ looking for the gentle ‘twist’ that draws attention to a novel observation.
Bruce Lee and The God of War: Kuan Ti
It starts with love.. The Power to the God Of War and Wealth Walk into a Chinese restaurant (even in Oklahoma, USA), a Chinese police station, a kung fu martial arts studio or even a Chinese temple and you often see a red faced warrior holding a heavy quan-do (spear like weapon).
