A Sonnet

A Sonnet
*
A sonnet sweet and rife with rhyming prose
  with pleasant words within its structured scheme
To please and titillate the ears of those
  that care to read another poet’s dream
~
I give these thoughts for all the eyes that see
  and pray they’ll read perhaps to shed a tear
Or smile or laugh at least they may agree
  this labored love should reach another’s ear
~
To walk the shaky walk that newness brings
  to dig into another’s common ground
To hope for some that read that sonnet sings
  for other’s taste at least they find it sound
~
Advice for those who shun this sweetened fruit
A meal of words can leave you sate and mute
