Tonight's Poet Corner: Sonnet Solstice #192

Don't Forget
by Belinda Roddie

Don't forget that the night is still young, so
let's paint our lives like crop circles in the
grass, pretending that the vast, dark cosmos
are waiting for us both to rise above
the others and achieve a higher state
of being. Don't act like what we have's not
a work of art in progress. We'll debate
our futures over coffees that are hot
as stars. I'll wear a bowtie that will spin
when the sun sets and sing when it rises.
You'll wear a gown as white as Spanish wind
across pearl sands. I know I will confess
my sins to you, in hopes that you'll forgive
me, before our brave sun ceases to live.
