Oh why, of all those things one might possess,
must one stand head and shoulders 'bove the rest,
and so compel the heart that one would try,
to steal the light of heaven from the sky?

And when, might this obsession make it known,
there in the face of reason that has flown,
to some far distant point so high above,
that in my madness I confess to love?

And then, if one is pure in this desire,
might not the light of truth lend words the fire,
to burn all this confusion clean away?
one spark of hope remains, that is to say,

what's born of your desire may then take form,
in radiance to shine above the norm.

Well well Doc Moose, you passed your final with glimmer and glitter I'd say.

Just beautiful Sir.

I'm trying to get the hang of this sonnet thing. Since you seem to have done so well in this exam, I think I'll reread yours a couple times to understand how the form works.

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?

Absolutely ditto to the above comment - your meter seems effortless (jealous, I must admit, having just struggled, wrestling my first into its teetering place... and it looks it - bent at the edges, like a forced jigsaw-piece!)

A very enjoyable work - and what a way to meet all of you here, to read your poetry! (I wish 3D were so clear!)
