The waves roll on and gulls above soar high, Lone foghorns chanting Cape Cod's solitude. The dunes at rest beneath the autumn sky Envelop peaceful beaches once imbued. Bright foliage adorns the countryside, Surrounding sundried bogs of cranberries. This summer tourists' verdant welcome tide Now boasts majestic hues of burgundies. Synthetic lakes spew forth from each bog's moat Releasing berries for the harvest day, And bouyant crimson carpets lie afloat In just abeyance being scooped away To conjure up a sauce with Ocean Spray, And have with turkey for Thanksgiving Day.  |

Sonnets on a Sunday!!!! Most of us mortals can’t even force a couplet, are you a Bot?? Nice poem though, if I can just master the accent. ------------------ Yes, I admit your general rule. That every poet is a fool: But I myself may serve to show it. That every fool is not a poet. |
