A few posts ago, "Work in Progress" provided the first couple of lines of a sonnet I was working on. Here's how it turned out.
A wish, a promise, and a nascent dream
have here combined into an actioned state --
it is not just a basic plan or scheme
without detail -- no, this is a place and date
and method with a definite result
which undermines uncertainty's detract-
ing influence. Each step creates a mult-
iplying mechanism serving to attract
the magnetism of success, which will
be cognizant of loss, or better, gain;
the culminating power is a thrill
sung with perfect triumph's pure refrain!
You wouldn't contemplate a flight of stair
is quite so much -- but think of it as rare.
