December Sonnet


December Sonnet



Thank you to all who’ve promised me their cash
Or sent it in advance (hip hip hooray!)
Your messages and appreciation count
When struggling with those syllables to fashion
Meaning into a sonnet shape. You pays
Your money and - as the tally mounts –
You gets your poem. Phrase by phrase
Your monthly rhyme and rhythm ration
Grows. Along with your support for charity
Your goodwill and trust enabled me
To keep on writing, keep the form alive
And fresh. Each month I knew I had to strive
To bring something worth hearing to your ear!
So thanks again. Good Yule! Happy New Year!!
