Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 The Quiet Bloom


"Good fences make good neighbors" wrote

Robert Frost in his "Mending Wall."

My neighbor has good fence, I note,

But not a good neighbor at all,

With noisy parties he does throw,

And keeping me awake at night.

But through the fence I see does grow

A lovely flower of delight,

A violet hibiscus that

Seems to give me a friendly smile.

And so I leave it where it's at,

To enjoy its bloom for a while.


At least until the weekend when

The neighbor will party again.
