Somniloquy On A Midwinter's Eve
Sonnet #5: In trimeter and Spencerian rhyme
Shivering, reviling Fading horrid nightmares, Shoot straight upright, smiling. Lust, love, and dear despairRendered naked and bare, Lurk beneath Winter's ice- Trapped in nearest nowhere. Just a roll of the dice From wine and sacrifice, A grand soliloquy- Apologies, paradise. Purest ventriloquy. Heat within burns again, Pricks like pins, tastes like sin.
