Sense Sonnet - Chiller

 Spellbound

To humankind who dare to roam

Into the forest claimed by him,

An unforgiving orn'ry gnome

Will punish for this trespass whim.

Dare enter where this gnome does dwell,

And he will know one does intrude.

He does confront and casts a spell,

Since he is in a cranky mood.

He gives the human a stern stare,

Without a word of dialog,

And waves his wand right then and there.

The human turns into a frog.

At first I thought it was a joke.

But then I heard me start to croak.
