on topics such as
unrequited love,
requires wielding of
pen by kid glove,
for fear of reader's
abject mockery,
This tome succeeds in
telling its story,
of one man's love for
one who shares it not,
and in that quest the
man declares his lot,
as one untroubled by
true love's glory,
I would have stopped
the scribe at thirty-two
For thirty-three feels
like a verse too far
its levity on this
heart leaves a scar
and love is best
expressed in powers of two
But sonnets twenty-six,
elev'n and four
permit me to award this worthy score.
