sprouting sonnet

Karyn Indursky

With a pen in hand student went to learn

how to write a Shakespearean  sonnet

words started to spill from her quill yearning

to etch and at times scratching her bonnet

for counting the meters wasn't easy

and she resorted to using fingers

catch flow of  beats without sounding cheesy

writing fluent black lines that shall linger

imagery was dancing when she caught on

her stanzas sang sweet lullabies for your

lyrics to start running swiftly like fawns

harmonizing transitions at your door 

so long as thy are willing to try out

you never know what poems are sprouting.
