Newest Poem: Sonnet I

this one i just finished. it's a sonnet. . . kind of. those of you who are poetry nerds know that sonnets use iambic pentameter (click link if you don't know what it is), but this uses only 4 iambs per line. so it's a little off on that, but otherwise, it's a sonnet. so i'm calling it a sonnet.

Sonnet I

Angela Mason

My thoughts slowly begin to leave
as you shoot me inbetween the eyes
the novacaine i now recieve
protects me from subconscience lies.
You dull me up "For my own sake,"
protect me from my vicious mind
and from me you decide to take
mem'ries of mountains already climbed.
But sadly i must pause to say;
too many have drunk this sobering draught,
minds once great now put to bay
for that happiness you have sought.
What brilliance now is left unseen,
dulled by years of mental morphine?
