Sense Sonnet - Chiller

 Knowing My Brother

I had an older brother who

Would always smash any bug that

He saw, and thought it was fun to

Set fire to an old alley cat.

My parents didn't seem to mind

That my brother had a cruel streak.

Dead squirrels and raccoons I would find.

This fam'ly secret  I did keep.

I asked my parents and they let 

Me adopt a dog from the pound.

My brother - I did not forget,

No dog was safe with him around.

My brother disappeared one day,

And where he went, I'll never say.
