Untitled Sonnet

[AttnAttack]

A poet learns how best to name the earth,
the sea, the sky and all the beasts within it
if misery had followed from their birth
and gave the inspiration for their sonnets

adhesure strict to form and careful ear
becomes their life, their love, and close companion
assured that strife will always hold them dear
while lovers, family and friends abandon

And once you've started well in this career
begin destroying all of your affections
accrue egregious pain that draws you  near
to that ascended state of lamentation

you'll spend your days unlearning how to live
until your words are all that you can give
