Sonnet - Mixed Iambic and Trochaic Verse
A chapter in the book Commentary and Philosophy
Resolutions
by Treischel
Resolutions
(A Sonnet) 'Tis breaking dawn of coming year. Wouldst strive to make the future clear, Consulting through a crystal ball, Or Gypsy fortune telling all. Perchance magical solutions Dost aid setting resolutions. Prithee, that faire intentions caught, Insures these plans shant go for naught. Alas, past history has cast A shadow 'pon my will to last. Hark, take tidings with great sorrow. All's been broken by the morrow. Still, like unto a ruined romance, I'll vie to take another chance. |
