Let's have a sonnet

Here's another sonnet recently written.

If anyone cares, I started posting sonnets with illustrations on my Instagram account.   Only 3 as I write this, but I'll add more.  Tell your friends.



if you didn't think, think again

If wisdom marks the path to places we
should go, what do we call it when our acts
ignore direction from its height? The free
and unkempt will that overrides the facts
which wisdom contemplates can guide our ways
to destinations we do not expect
and situations which create a daze
of apprehension -- wisdom must correct
these vain positions to amend the place
where we have placed ourselves, yet energy
must be expended to create a face
of confidence despite the perigee
of ill-advisement which became our fate
because we heeded wisdom rather late.
