Once a criminal….. That my thoughts are a criminal passion is in no way a subject that’s doubted for free thinking I’ve followed as fashion and in life this philosophy touted. Yet there are those whose law I dishonored by pursuing the code of my reason with numerous penalties encountered a sentence equaled only with treason. In reformatory bonds came writings scribbles of an emancipated mind thoughts as if hallucinated sightings a Specter’s urgings while doing my time. Though jailers reveled at capturing me The reflective thinker inside was free. Robert ------------------ if you can dream; you can fly...if you are flying; you are dreaming. |

Nan, I didn't say it was a sonnet! LOL Just said I liked it. RobertB, Here's a klenex. Now quit crying. You're gonna get the teacher mad at all of us. I don't want her mad at me because I'm taking the next class if I don't get expelled before it starts! ------------------ Yesterday is history, tomorrow just a mystery. And if today is good to me how could I ask for more? |

Why is that I hear the song.."He's a rebel" when I think of you here? LOL I thought this was a very good poem...even if it isn't a sonnet.  |
