So Not

by Bill Schott

Beginning with no thoughts of where to go,
this "so not" sonnet sees a couple lines;
and that one reader out there reads with woe,
as this first stanza stabs like pitchfork tines.

Whatever would possess one to go on,
to suffer through lethargic lettered verse;
there are no cuddly kittens, duck in pond,
or weepy women waving at a hearse.

But here you are, perusing quatrain three,
with some slim hope that there is still a chance,
that words will disappear and you'll be free
to have your eyes and brains devoured by ants.

Here is the couplet that denotes the end;
I hope despite it all you are my friend.
