March 1st sonnet to get some momentum

This sonnet is entitled mental vacation.


mental vacation

I cannot do the frivolous unless
I do the obvious before I have the chance
to think about what constitutes the less
important points in life. So circumstance
requires priorities to be assessed
and that which does not hold excitement may
be dominant in terms of the expressed
commitment it entails, thus, I must weigh
what must be done against my heart's desires
and oft-times do the drudgery that needs
completion; whilst my patience flags and tires
along with strength, at least my mind proceeds
to where the job is done, and then respite
might then be found where sybarites invite.
