Last 3 sonnets…Last day of NoJoMo…

Made it! *sigh of relief* *does a dance* *laughs* 

That made it can go for two things…Actually getting every day in November for NoJoMo…And getting the last 3 sonnets done for my semester project in British Lit.
As per usual, I’m not thrilled with them…The last one was pretty much a scribble…The last 4-6 lines of the 19th one just isn’t what I really wanted, but it’s there.

        18
A winged reptile like no other
Lives deep in the desert of Libya
With claws and legs of an eagle
A dangerous foe is the amphisbaena
It’s bite is really quite deadly
Causing a wound that will not heal
An when it chooses to escape
It rolls itself up like a wheel
It can see where it’s going and where it’s been
Because instead of a tail, it has another head
It’s name means ‘to go both ways’
It’s always leading, never led
It’s eyes give forth a beam of light
So it’ll never get lost in the dark of night

        19
Deep beneath the flowing sea
Live the wonderful crobh sidhe
Dining on beds of mellich
Like natural cows at a salt lick
White of fur and red of ear
Marvelous otherworldly steer
Golden hooves and horn
Rarer than a unicorn
Coming ashore on the first of May
To celebrate Beltane Day
The will come from the sea
To graze upon the sunny lea
Joining in the festive rites
When bonfires burn through the nights

        20
Wings like flames
Burning bright
The phoenix is
A wondrous sight
The song it sings
Amplifies all you feel
The tears is cries
So all to heal
And when it’s time
Has drawn near
It knows very well
It naught to fear
From the flames it will form
It will find itself reborn

 

Waiting on the mail to be able to take care of the school stuff. Hopefully that’s all it takes.

Wasil will be here Friday barring and complications.

Think that is it for the moment…
