Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Pan and Syrinx

Pan, horny god of the wild, ran

Through the woods and did see Syrinx who

Caught his lustful eye and began

A long, long chase, and Syrinx ran to

A river where her father, god

Of rivers turned her to marsh reeds.

But this subterfuge became flawed

When Pan, known for his anger deeds,

Smashed and broke the marsh reeds apart,

Tying the pieces together in

Musical pipes so to outsmart

Syrinx who did lose and Pan did win.

Thus Pan the trickster played trick of

Possessing Syrinx reluctant love.
