I hope everyone had a great Easter! I know it's a bit later than when I usually post but that's just because I had to finish writing this one today. Due to the rather rushed circumstances this may not be my best work so it should provide ample opportunity for any constructive criticism you care to offer. As far is my Easter weekend goes, it was permeated with food, family, more food, sleeping, procrastination on my homework, and my inability to concentrate long enough to write something so I'd say it was a semi-successful weekend. I hope I'll be able to regain some semblance of a normal writing schedule this week so I won't have to do this whole last-minute business again next week. However, the ever approaching AP tests may put a damper on my desire to write so heads up I might have to put a hold on the sonnet writing for a few weeks. Even so, I plan to post at least a little bit about my week and perhaps some of my non-sonnet previous work. Until then, I"ll just focus on writing as much as I can before my brain becomes more fried than a cheese stick at the Minnesota State Fair. I hope you enjoy this week's sonnet. I spent a whole three hours on it!
I'm not quite sure how I wrote what I did... I guess I was sort of looking to write a spin-off of my sonnet from a couple weeks ago but it kind of turned into its own entity. Enjoy!
The Happy Hare
Abiding laws intrinsic compass ere
Ne'er bear the faultless fleshy hare amiss.
Resilient dances round all thicket snare
Beholden hare in certain snug abyss.
Moreover dare should happy hare collide
With hapless stray. Now seeking sustenance
Whereto both boxing kindred feud aside
This teeming fount of wholesome corpulence.
Survive? the two beseech aforesaid such
Existence cheap, albeit one, indeed!
Far more than any other. Winner clutch
Subsistence such yet not in that of greed.
If hitherto I writ effect dismay
In you, let pass, tis naught but Nature's way.
