Sense Sonnet - Pumper

Well Read Hermit

The hermit lived in north Maine woods
For 27 years until
Got hunted down for stealing goods.
The law intrudes as the law will.
A lot of what he stole he read,
Books and magazines to pass time
During the lonely life he led,
Only to reach out in thief crime.
Behind a wall of rock and tree,
The hermit carved a niche to live
Pure relief from society
With only written words to give.

This hermit had a flat read for
National Geographic floor.
